We are seeking $25.00 donations from 200 donors to raise $5,000 for our important work.
Since 1995, Portico has helped individuals and families get the health care they need when they need it. Our services open the door to affordable preventive, primary, dental, and mental health care to thousands of Minnesotans who struggle to afford health care.
After 25 years, our work has never been more important.
Portico believes that all Minnesotans deserve equal access to health coverage and care. People of color are more likely to be uninsured and struggle to find affordable health care. At the same time people of color have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic at higher rates than white Minnesotans, through both contracting the virus and economically, through higher job loss.
Portico’s MNsure certified Navigators are multi-lingual, culturally inclusive, and reflect the communities we serve. We have expertise in serving BIPOC (black, Indigenous and people of color); refugees and people with complex immigration status; people unable to access technology or navigate complex forms; and people involved with the criminal justice system. Portico Navigators reflect the communities we serve, and they have a deep understanding of the experiences of Latino, Karen, Somali and Vietnamese immigrant and refugee communities in the U.S. They also have a strong commitment to community health and wellbeing and are able to provide personalized assistance that meets entire families’ health care needs.
