The Center for Prevention works to advance racial and health equity to transform communities for a healthier Minnesota. We have a vision that racism no longer determines health outcomes, and all people can attain their highest level of health. Our work focuses on advancing food justice by ensuring access to healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant foods and eliminating access to and use of commercial tobacco – especially in communities most impacted by commercial tobacco-related health inequities. Funded through proceeds from Blue Cross’ historic lawsuit against the tobacco industry, we aim to make a healthy difference in people’s lives: Creating racial and health equity by supporting Minnesota communities to achieve their full health potential. To achieve this, the Center invests in community funding programs, public awareness campaigns, and actively advocates for policies, systems and environmental changes to advance community health and health equity across the state.
