The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation has awarded $4.08M in grants to 18 nonprofit organizations in Minnesota, as part of its focus on increasing healthcare coverage across Minnesota, supporting community solutions to accessing equitable care, and increasing awareness about communities most impacted by a lack of healthcare access.
Three organizations were awarded Healthy Generations grants to improve equitable care and coverage, including CARE Clinic in Red Wing.
The three year grant of $300,000 to CARE Clinic will support CARE’s MNsure program, integrated health care model and expanding dental program, including support for bilingual and bicultural staff to continue providing culturally sensitive care at the clinic and in community settings.
CARE will continue to work closely with Hispanic Outreach on referrals, along with the Hispanic Family Therapy program – the only psychotherapy service south of the Twin Cities that is offered in Spanish.
They will also hire an additional dentist to provide expanded services such as dentures, partials, and root canals.
CARE Clinic in Red Wing will continue to adapt to meet patient needs and expand availability of services for the uninsured, publicly insured and low-income Minnesotans in and around Goodhue County.
