Overview

The mission of NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center's (NorthPoint) is to create a healthier community. Three pillars provide the foundation for serving the North Minneapolis community: Whole-Person Integrated Care, Building Community Well-Being, and Health Equity.

Whole-Person Integrated Care

NorthPoint offers a continuum of social and health services that integrate medical, dental, and behavioral health with human services to improve quality of life.

A community's sense of well-being includes social, economic, environmental, cultural, and political conditions identified by the members of a community as essential for them to "flourish and fulfill their potential." To build and nurture community well-being, we must understand the population we serve to improve their health, safety, and access to the services they need.
