Affirmative Action Plan

The Minnesota Department of Health is firmly committed to equal opportunity in employment as a strategy to achieve its mission.

Our mission is to protect, maintain, and improve the health of all Minnesotans. In order to be most effective in achieving this mission, it is critical that our workforce understand and consider the public health needs of the many populations and communities that exist in the state. An important asset is a diverse workforce which recognizes, respects and values the individual differences that contribute to a healthy, productive workplace and state.
