Who We Are

Physicians for a National Health Program of Minnesota (PNHP-MN) is a chapter of the national organization, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP). PNHP is a single-issue research and education group. Founded in 1987, PNHP has over 25,000 members consisting of physicians, medical students and health professionals.

Founded in 2007, our Minnesota chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to educating current and future advocates with the goal of reforming our broken, wasteful healthcare system into one that will cover all Minnesotans in an equitable and economically feasible manner.  

Though we originated as a physicians’ organization, we encourage all health professionals and advocates of universal health care to join the signers of Our Chapter Resolution.

The Work We Do

EDUCATION: We are committed to educating current and future healthcare professionals across Minnesota via speaker presentations, medical and public health graduate student internships, tabling at events, and collaboration with other like-minded organizations.

Need a Speaker for your upcoming event, grand rounds, union meeting, or specialty organization? We provide the respected opinion of the American Healthcare Professional currently working within the broken system of healthcare delivery. Our trained speakers provide live in-person or virtual presentations. Contact us today!

COLLABORATION: Alongside Healthcare For All of Minnesota (HCA-MN), PNHP-MN is a founding member of the Minnesota Health Justice Allies. We provide educational presentations and support dialog between legislators in support of The Minnesota Health Plan (MHP). The MHP is a single health plan covering EVERY Minnesotan, reducing health care costs and hassles for providers. Through global budgets, it can support health services in rural areas and ensure that accessibility is not limited to high-population areas of the state.
