Summary
The University of Minnesota and Essentia Health have announced a proposal to establish a new not-for-profit entity aimed at transforming healthcare in Minnesota. This initiative is designed to leverage the strengths of both organizations and potential partners to tackle urgent healthcare issues and improve care quality statewide. It seeks to enhance access to healthcare services, particularly in underserved rural and Tribal areas, while supporting the University of Minnesota Medical School. The framework aims to develop sustainable healthcare models, including telehealth, while addressing challenges such as rising costs, workforce shortages, and health disparities in the system.
