A new Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation program, “Shared Values: Health and Community — Shaping Minnesota’s Future with New Americans,” will air Saturday (Oct. 25) at 9 p.m. on Minnesota Channel 17.
Part of the foundation’s Healthy Together: Creating Community with New Americans initiative to reduce health inequities for immigrants and improve the health and vitality of the entire community, the 30-minute program will show how newcomers from Myanmar and Cameroon learn about their new Minnesota community. In addition, the program shows examples of local organizations that are helping both immigrants and long-time residents understand each other and identify common goals across cultures.
The program is also available on a free DVD; organizations can order a copy at bcbsmnfoundation.org.
