 Guest blog post by Meghan Kimmel, President of Portico Healthnet
Portico Healthnet wants to thank our Leadership Saint Paul (LSP) service group, which has been instrumental in helping plan and execute our fundraising event, Cocktails for Coverage. This event will be a networking and social gathering for community leaders committed to health coverage access for underserved communities. Please join us for this fun evening, and see the value of LSP service groups in action! Cocktails for Coverage comes at a critical time for health care access. Despite reaching a record low in 2015, the uninsurance rate in Minnesota is on the rise; about 349,000 Minnesotans currently lack health insurance. The highest rates of uninsured are among the very people Portico serves: low‐income people, people of color, immigrants, and people with limited education. The barriers for those remaining uninsured are persistent and complex. Portico offers health care enrollment and navigation services to all Minnesotans, regardless of income or immigration status. Our multi-lingual, culturally competent staff connect our communities’ most vulnerable people to the health services and resources they need. We are grateful to the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to work with leaders from our community. We hope to see you at this year’s Cocktails for Coverage!
