Health Care Alliance
Affordable health care is a growing concern for employers and employees in Northwestern Minnesota. To respond to this concern, the Northwestern Minnesota Civic Health Initiative will convene meetings in six communities to help the region begin to build its small business health care purchasing alliance. Main street business operators, industry employers, and farmers are encouraged to attend. Meetings will be held in Warroad, Hallock, Crookston, Warren, Thief River Falls and Fosston.

Legislation enacted during the last legislative session provided funding to organize health care purchasing alliances in Northwestern and Southwestern Minnesota. The University of Minnesota Crookston, through its Northwestern Minnesota Civic Health Initiative, is taking leadership for organizing the meetings in the northwest part of the state.
