Making a Difference with Healthcare
Over 15 years ago, Proceed Inc. implemented a health program to address the notable health disparities within the African American community. This problem is particularly acute in St. Paul, MN community. The problem is called a “Healthcare Desert” by healthcare providers and others since there is no health clinic within 5 miles. We partnered with MHealth Fairview to place a fully functional clinic in its youth complex. Along with our wrap-around services, this clinic will go a long way to help community members find primary care and get the healthcare they need. Secondly, in conjunction with Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, the Fishes & Loaves Food Shelf (TEFAP certified) brings healthy and organic foods to children and adults in the urban core.

Some of the events already hosted on-site are the Chief of Police Forum, St. Paul Superintendent Forum, Quinceañeras, Community Healing event with death of Philando Castile, Hmong Political Pac, Voting Site, etc.
