Fifty years ago, in April 1976, Minnesota laid the foundation for its modern public health system with the Community Health Services Act—now known as the Local Public Health Act.
This year, for the third annual Minnesota Partners in Public Health Conference, local, Tribal, and state public health partners will come together around this milestone. We’ll honor the past, and we’ll reflect on how we’re shaping the present and inspiring the future.
The 2026 conference will take place Nov. 17 through 19 at the Park Event Center near St. Cloud, MN.
