Shaping and Sustaining Minnesota's Health: A New Covenant Guide, Health Education, Research and Outreach

Abstract

Minnesota's 150-year commitment to the health and well-being of its residents and communities has propelled a quality of life that is second to none. The University of Minnesota Academic Health Center and its constituent disciplines have played a vital role over the years in building on this essential value. It is the sole institution in the state capable of steadfastly transforming cutting edge health research into innovative clinical and community applications, professional education, and public outreach. It has been central in sustaining Minnesota's vision of itself as one of the healthiest places in the nation and the world in which to live, work and play.
