Developer & Career Coordinator

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.

NorthPoint offers a continuum of social and health services that integrates medical, dental, and behavioral health with human services to improve quality of life. We strive to serve our community by addressing the physical, behavioral, social, and spiritual aspects of health in culturally responsive and trauma-informed ways.

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 that population we serve to improve their health, safety, and access to the services they need.

NorthPoint is committed to health equity that requires valuing everyone. We strive to reduce the social, economic, and health inequities experienced by the community and the people we serve. We work with community partners to support people in reaching their full health potential.
