Letter from the Commissioner

Hi, I’m Dr. Brooke Cunningham, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Health.

Welcome to our website, where you can find a world of helpful resources and information.  

You’ll find answers to frequently asked questions such as how to get a birth certificate, where to find a health care provider, and what diseases are circulating in Minnesota. You’ll also find charts, graphs and videos to help illustrate trends and make the science easier to understand.  

The public health professionals who work with me — and in partnership with Minnesota counties, Tribal nations, health care and community-based organizations — are passionate about our mission of protecting, maintaining and improving the health of all Minnesotans.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please reach out to us. We’re here to help!
