Health

Home to the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota’s First Congressional District – and the state as a whole – is a hub for healthcare innovation. From device manufacturing, technological advancements, and research to a high-quality standard of patient care, Minnesota’s health care system should be a roadmap for the rest of the country. We must maintain this standard while continuing to increase access to care, especially throughout rural Minnesota.  

Too many rural communities still face barriers to accessing timely, affordable care. We must not only preserve Minnesota’s reputation for excellence but also expand it by strengthening rural hospitals and clinics, supporting the health care workforce in underserved areas, and investing in telehealth and innovative solutions that bring care closer to home.
