Initiatives > Minnesota Works Together > Citizen Health campaign
A civic perspective on health begins with a simple premise: work to improve health is the responsibility of everyone, not just health professionals. Rethinking our roles in civic terms allows us to expand the conversation beyond provider-patient relationships, and opens up new possibilities for improving the health of individuals and communities. Citizen Health is the second statewide campaign of Minnesota Works Together, bringing together people of all ages including students, legislators, health care professionals, immigrants, clergy, teachers, and others to do work to improve health.
