2025 MPHA “Public Health Matters”
Policy Forum Series

The theme for this year’s breakfast forum series is all about working outside the box to tackle some of our most difficult and persistent issues that directly impact public health. This requires public health professionals to work with non-traditional partners to ensure basic needs of people are met and sound policies exist to achieve optimum health for all Minnesotans.

The forums will be in-person at New Brighton Community Center. Check-in and a light breakfast begin at 7:30am. Forums begin promptly at 8:00 am and conclude at 9:30am.

Connecting the dots... a call to action!

January 24, 2025...food insecurity

In Minnesota, 537,890 people are facing hunger and 1 out of 7 of those people are children. Food shelf visits in MN continue to grow. Last year Minnesotans made over 7.5 million food shelf visits, up 1.8 million from 2022). What are the gaps and inequities for food insecurity? What causes those gaps? What are best practices and policies for addressing food insecurity? How can we contribute most to solving food insecurity?
