Community Health Awards honor Minnesota health professionals for leadership, impact, service
The Minnesota Department of Health today honored seven individuals and two groups for outstanding contributions to Minnesota’s public health system. The Community Health Awards were presented at the department’s annual Community Health Conference in Brainerd.

The Community Health Awards are given each year to public health professionals for their leadership, impact on reducing health inequity, dedication to serving the community and more. Awardees are nominated by their peers, chosen by a committee of the State Community Health Services Advisory Committee, and presented with their awards by Commissioner of Health Dr. Ed Ehlinger at the conference. For more information, please visit the Community Health Awards website.
“It is inspiring to hear the stories of these creative, dedicated people,” said Commissioner Ehlinger. “There is so much good work taking place in so many areas of public health and it’s great to have the opportunity to recognize those achievements.”
