The Good Clinic is expanding its efforts to champion healthcare equity through a strategic relationship with the National Minority Health Association.
Minneapolis, MN – 
“To be an effective advocate, healthcare providers must embrace the whole person to achieve the optimum patient outcome,” said Michael Howe, CEO of the Good Clinic.
“Health inequity is real within healthcare organizations. We acknowledge this and designed our practice from the start to overcome inequities in care delivery. This relationship with NMHA will further our efforts to achieve health equity in our primary care practice.”
The Good Clinic recognizes that equitable patient-centered, value-based care is necessary for peoples’ well-being and strengthens the communities in which its clinics operate. Joining the NMHA Health Equity Action Leader (HEAL) Network is another step in The Good Clinic’s process to ensure that the delivery of care is equitable for all. As a HEAL member, The Good Clinic has adopted the NMHA Guiding Principles. In addition, The Good Clinic will also offer membership in NMHA to each clinic client (i.e., patient).
“Minority communities suffer the brunt of infrastructure and institutional policies that systematically ignore our needs and challenges when it comes to seeking healthcare,” said Burgess Harrison, NMHA executive director. “We look forward to working hand in hand with The Good Clinic team to improve health outcomes for people of color.”
