To the MCD Community

The Minnesota Council on Disability (MCD) is open and will continue providing services to Minnesotans across the state.

We are bringing you the most up-to-date information we have available about our operations and resources.

For COVID-19 information, please visit the Minnesota Department of Health.

We are committed to providing a safe environment for both the people we serve and our employees. Following guidance from Governor Walz and the Minnesota Department of Health, we are taking aggressive steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including implementing social distancing strategies.

We have transitioned most staff to working remotely. Our staff have the tools to provide service by telephone or email. You can expect a response within 1-2 business days. You can reach us by phone at 651-361-7800, or by email at: council.disability@state.mn.us.

We will continue to keep you updated during this challenging time. You can find the latest news at the MCD website.

Thank you for your patience as we make these adjustments.

Sincerely,

Laurie Beyer-Kropuenske, Interim Executive Director
