Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative

The Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative (EHDI) grant program was created to address health inequities for populations of color and American Indians across eight different priority health areas. Every few years, the program allocates competitive grants to organizations and tribes across the state of Minnesota.
