Healthy Connections

Past Domestic Programs

More Somali refugees are resettled in Minnesota than any other state, and although Minnesota prides itself on being one of the healthiest states in the nation, large health disparities exist within minority, immigrant and refugee communities.

What We Do

This initiative—in partnership with the Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota (CSCM) aims to bridge the gap between the Somali community and healthcare providers in Minnesota and reduce health disparities in key areas.

Our program increases the level of knowledge, awareness and skills in the Somali community surrounding key health issues and improves overall access to health care. We:

Create cultural competence trainings for health providers • who serve Somali clients.Conduct community-based participatory research with • the Somali community to better understand community assets and needs.Train community health workers to serve the Somali • community by doing outreach and make referrals.Develop culturally appropriate health education materials •

What perpetuates these disparities? General demographic and health-specific data on the Somali population is scarce. Many refugees feel isolated and are unable to navigate the U.S. healthcare system. Few health education materials are available in the Somali language. Somali culture often clashes with that of healthcare providers.
