Minnesotans for Healthy Kids Coalition

About the Coalition

Minnesotans for Healthy Kids Coalition (MHK) was established in 2007 by the American Heart Association to mobilize advocacy efforts around priority state policies to address childhood obesity. Since then, MHK has grown into a diverse group of statewide partners that include many Minnesota organizations from public health, healthcare, nonprofit and education.

Our mission is to ensure that all Minnesota children have the opportunity to consume healthy foods and beverages, be physically active, and achieve their optimal health and well-being.

Visit the issues menu at the top to see what we are currently working on to address our mission and the needs of Minnesota kids. As a coalition, we update our policy priorities each fall.
