Fund innovative research and the training of specialists; and
Educate the public about epilepsy and seizure first aid.

Minnesota, USA

For nearly 40 years we have been advocating for and serving the LGBTQ+ community, those living with HIV, and all folks facing barriers to equitable healthcare. Since our formation through the Minnesota AIDS Project and Rainbow Health Initiative merger—and later the acquisition of Training to Serve—we have continued to grow and identify new ways to commit to our mission.

These past few years have challenged and strengthened this unified team in ways we could have never expected. We decided another change was needed to continue moving forward: a name that grounded us in our legacy and proudly proclaimed our purpose.

Our Mission

While our name has changed, our purpose has not. We are as dedicated as ever to working for equitable health care access and outcomes for people who experience injustice at the intersection of health status and identity. We center individuals and communities at risk of and living with HIV or facing barriers to equitable health care access and outcomes because of their identity as gender, sexual, and/or racial minorities.

  • We help people navigate healthcare systems by breaking down barriers, particularly LGBTQ+ people and those affected by HIV.
  • We work to End HIV by building on our four-decade legacy of providing the most comprehensive array of Minnesota AIDS Project’s wrap-around services for people with HIV. As a disease of injustice, the only way to end HIV is to end health disparities.
  • We offer unique and specialized mental and chemical health services by and for the communities we serve. Our care is trauma-informed, harm-reduction based, sex-positive, and meets people where they are. We turn no one away for inability to pay.
  • We work to empower people on the margins with relevant information, support, and connection to resources that allow them to lead healthier lives. Our legacy of four decades fighting HIV and LGBTQ+ health disparities has given us insight and experience that we can bring to the broader movement for health equity.
  • We educate and train providers about how to deliver better care for the diversity of LGBTQ+ and HIV communities through a lens of intersectionality.

We are Rainbow Health Minnesota, and we will do whatever it takes for each and every person to be cared for and respected.

Our Purpose

We bring our purpose to life in two primary ways:

  • Directly serving and supporting the needs of people who need help with compassionate care that breaks down barriers to better health.
  • Fighting for better health systems for those erased and excluded by educating care providers, policymakers, and one another.

The strategic actions we are taking to fulfill our purpose include:

  1. Work to End HIV.
  2. Expand our training and systems change enterprise.
  3. Respond to the growing needs of older LGBTQ+ and HIV communities.
  4. Increase community engagement and empowerment.
  5. Explore targeted LGBTQ+ direct care services.
  6. Strengthen operational and financial stability.

The Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care is a program of the Minnesota Board on Aging. Regional ombudsmen and volunteers work to enhance the quality of life and services for people receiving long-term services and supports. The program also advocates for reform in long-term care through changes in state law, federal law and administrative policy. 

  • An Ombudsman is an independent consumer advocate who:

    • Investigates complaints about the health, safety, welfare and rights of Minnesotans receiving long-term services and supports
    • Works to identify problems and resolve individual concerns
    • Provides information and help with long-term care services, consumer rights and regulations
    • Resolves disputes between consumers and providers about long-term care services
    • Works with providers to promote a culture in which people have and can make choices.

    Ombudsmen can help:

    • Residents of nursing homes and board and care homes, including veterans’ homes
    • Residents of adult care homes, such as housing with services, assisted living, customized living or foster care
    • People receiving home care services
    • Medicare beneficiaries who have concerns about getting into or being discharged from hospitals
    • Anyone seeking help with long-term services and supports.

    Ombudsmen work with residents, families and service providers to promote person-centered care and to identify issues in the long-term care system and advocate for change. They also handle complaints and problems from individuals related to:

    • Quality of care and quality of life
    • The Patient, Resident and Home Care Bill of Rights
    • Discharge or eviction from nursing homes, board and care homes, veterans’ homes, assisted living and other long-term care or home and community-based service settings
    • Termination of services, including home care, adult foster care, hospice, Elderly Waiver, Community Access for Disability Inclusion waiver and other long-term care community-based service programs
    • Public benefit programs, such as Medicare, Medical Assistance, veterans’ services, long-term care insurance and other programs that directly affect an individual’s long-term care needs.

NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering
addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is
only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work. There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations. We have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. We are not connected with any political, religious, or law enforcement groups, and are under no surveillance at any time. Anyone may join us regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion, or lack of religion. We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. The newcomer is the most important person at any meeting, because we can only keep what we have by giving it away. We have learned from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meetings regularly stay clean.
