This project is
part of a $45 million State Innovation Model (SIM) cooperative agreement,
awarded to the Minnesota Departments of Health and Human Services in 2013 by
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to help implement the
Minnesota Accountable Health Model.
The Minnesota
Accountable Health Model wants to hear from health
initiatives, SIM-funded grantees and other partnerships for health.
Tell us what helps your community be healthy. What is your
role in contributing to community health? We know health is important to
you and your community and invite you and your partners to share your stories.
The following tools are available to help you talk about
your health initiatives and the impact you are making in your community:
Stories that represent a variety of successes and challenges
in creating healthier communities may be chosen for further development.
Selected storytellers will be contacted about opportunities to develop and
record their stories to share throughout Minnesota. Additional resources may
also be available to help communities engage in deeper conversations about
their health.
For more information about this Storytelling Engagement
project, please email sida.ly-xiong@state.mn.us.
On October 19th, Medtronic Philanthropy announced a
$2 million investment in HealthRise, a major worldwide initiative to address
chronic disease that will be implemented in three areas of Minnesota – Hennepin,
Ramsey, and Rice counties.
As a prominent component of HealthRise, Community Health
Workers and Community Paramedics will support community organizations as they
help people living with chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes
manage their health. The Minnesota
Department of Health (MDH) has been collaborating with Medtronic during the
development and implementation of the project. MDH is glad to partner with
Medtronic Philanthropy to leverage common resources and knowledge from the
SIM-funded Emerging Professions work, as well as CDC-funded initiatives to
address heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

release at Medtronic.com.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) awarded
Community Blueprint a $65,555 contract for the Minnesota
Accountable Health Model State Innovation Model (SIM)
Community Engagement Initiative.
A key emphasis of this initiative is to strengthen community
relationships and partnerships to advance health equity. Community Blueprint
will facilitate a co-creation process with community stakeholders to develop a
communications and sustainability plan for leveraging stories to encourage
health partnerships.
The Community Engagement Initiative goals are:
- To support, expand and sustain interest in
health integration and innovation efforts across Minnesota.
- To build the narrative capacity of partners,
providers, and communities to raise awareness of health equity and health
efforts in their community.
- To support existing and new partnerships for
health in a coordinated effort to launch success stories and generate
discussion about health equity.
This award was made possible through Minnesota's $45 million
State Innovation Model (SIM) testing grant. MDH and the Department of Human
Services (DHS) jointly received this federal grant in 2013 and are using the
funds to help implement the Minnesota Accountable Health Model. The model helps
providers and communities work together to reduce costs and create healthier
futures for Minnesotans. It supports community and provider partnerships,
team-based models of care, care coordination, Accountable Care Organizations,
payment reform, and health information technology investments.

Initiative, email Sida Ly-Xiong, SIM Community Engagement Coordinator, at sida.ly-xiong@state.mn.us.
