MHA is focusing our legislative priorities on continuing to build mental health system supports, taking bold action to address the opioid crisis and preserving meaningful health care coverage for low-income Minnesotans. Learn more about the 2018 legislative session priorities.

A variety of federal health care programs provide resources to the state of Minnesota and health care providers in support of health care services for low income and underserved Minnesotans. Without reauthorization, services to thousands of Minnesotans may be affected.

Minnesota's hospitals and health systems are addressing the opioid crisis in their communities.

Minnesota's 142 hospitals and health systems have earned a national reputation for delivering safe, high-quality care and for meeting the needs of our communities. 

In 2016, the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) stated that they have shifted their drive for nurse staffing ratios from the bargaining table to the Legislature. Minnesota hospitals and health systems oppose MNA/union efforts to establish a state government-mandated staffing quota.
