Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) StatementThe Minnesota Public Health Association stands in support of the Indian Child Welfare Act and its purpose. ICWA provides guidance regarding the handling of child abuse and neglect and adoption cases involving Native children and sets minimum standards for the handling of these cases. It is also critical to rear children within their own communities as they are the future of protecting Native government, language, and culture. |
Public Comment on Voter Participation as Part of Healthy People 2030The Minnesota Public Health Association encourages Healthy People 2030 to transition voter participation rates as a core objective. MPHA recognizes the positive relationship between civic engagement and mental health, healthy behaviors and well-being. The Healthy People framework is a roadmap for achieving national-level health goals over 10-year spans. Healthy People goals also inform the process of setting health goals and priorities at state and local level health agencies and non-profit hospital systems. |
About MPHAEstablished in 1907, MPHA is a volunteer driven organization representing a broad spectrum of community and health professionals on behalf of the public.

We engage and develop our members to mobilize the community to protect and improve the public’s health. |
