Health awareness hub pilot project appropriation

This bill appropriates $500,000 from the general fund for a one-time pilot project run by the Organization for Liberians in Minnesota. It directly supports elderly African immigrants in Minnesota by funding culturally relevant health education, wellness resources, and preventive care through medical practitioners with similar backgrounds. The project must provide referrals to culturally competent services and submit an evaluation to the commissioner within six months of completion. The bill focuses on addressing health care access gaps for this specific community through targeted outreach and support.
