These activities frequently involve collaboration with partners at Hennepin County, MN. This partnership and focus will continue in P4A, with the goal of identifying opportunities to improve services for low-income families and children enrolled in Medicaid.

Children and FamiliesBuilding Upstream Interventions to Keep Families Together in Hennepin County, MN
Like many communities in the U.S., the Twin Cities metropolitan area has become increasingly vocal around social justice—exposing and documenting local poverty, inequity, and discrimination. Amid this wave, Hennepin County is actively seeking out population health policy opportunities to engage high-risk families and children, with the goal of developing and implementing upstream, cross-sector interventions to preserve unified, healthy families and avoid out of home placements (i.e., foster care).
