The MDH vision is for health equity in Minnesota, where all communities are thriving and all people have what they need to be healthy.
(From SHIP Health Equity and Community Engagement Guide)

Achieving good and equitable health requires addressing factors such as:
- Systemic issues such as racism
- Social determinants of health
