Creating Community Clinical Linkages to Heart Health

Written By Renee Garcia

The Minnesota Department of Health Cardiovascular Health Unit is requesting proposals to connect clinical and community services to improve cardiovascular health and reduce impacts of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes among Minnesota adults.

MDH will prioritize grants to organizations that serve communities disproportionally impacted by heart disease including Black/African American, American Indian, and Hmong/Asian American populations.

Project proposals will demonstrate how organizations create or enhance existing community clinical linkages to increase referrals to social needs, culturally relevant supports, and/or lifestyle change programs for adults with hypertension, high cholesterol, or other risk of cardiovascular disease.
