Join the upcoming Grand Rounds discussing the impact of COVID-19 on Asian American communities in Minnesota

In May 2022, Children’s Minnesota hosted a Grand Rounds titled: “Why data disaggregation matters for Asian American communities: The case of COVID-19.” The Grand Rounds featured KaYing Yang, nonprofit management consultant, president, RedGreen Rivers, LLC, and Chao Yang, senior health educator, St. Paul-Ramsey Public Health Founder, Hmong Public Health Association.

The agenda of the Grand Rounds is:

  • Describe the impact of the COIVD-19 pandemic on Asian American communities in Minnesota, using the public health impact report and COVID-19 as an example of the importance of data disaggregation.
  • Discuss recommendations for what health care professionals and organizations could be doing better to improve the health of Asian American communities going forward.
