Doran Schrantz, ISAIAH, St. Paul, MN
Minnesota is leading in advancing new forms of public health practice that is grounded in various forms of community engagement and community partnerships. One kind of partnership is grounded in exploring the principles, practices and disciplines of community organizing as a potentially viable strategy for reducing health inequities.

Learning Areas:

Public health or related organizational policy, standards, or other guidelines

Learning Objectives:
Describe how community-organizing organizations are engaging with public health professionals and organizations.

Presenting author's disclosure statement:

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: as director of a community and faith based organization we have worked to link a health-equity analysis to the work of community-organizing and democratic action. We led two community-grounded HIAs, worked to pass legislation to advance public health and built intentional relationships and partnership in the public health sector. Our work has been grounded in Minnesota, making our perspective on the health/health equity field in Minnesota relevant to the panel.
Any relevant financial relationships? No
