THE MINNESOTA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (MMA) ANNOUCES NEW INITIATIVE AND

STATEWIDE CALL-TO-ACTION: PRACTICE GOOD HEALTH

Minnesota physicians uniting to help patients successfully navigate safe, proactive health care

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (June 9, 2020)—The Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) is launching Practice Good Health, a unified effort
of its 10,000 physician members to empower Minnesota families to proactively care for their physical and emotional well-being,
especially during this uncertain time. Practice Good Health brings together credible tools, resources and best practice guidelines to
make care decisions easier amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

“As medical offices and clinics re-open, alongside more public spaces, and Minnesotans learn to navigate and adapt to the current
realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to encourage preventive health practices and promote safe care has never been
greater,” said MMA President Keith Stelter, MD. “Practice Good Health is designed to make it easier for Minnesotans to navigate
care decisions to stay healthy and well.”

In addition to providing patient clarity, Practice Good Health will also directly support physicians across the state to create the safest
possible care environments and experiences. This includes physician resources and educational opportunities for their clinics and
practices as well as their own well-being.

Practice Good Health will support its physician members and Minnesotans in three important ways:
1. COVID-19 Care: Best practices to slow the spread of COVID-19 and knowing when to get tested or seek care
2. Seeking Safe Care: Guidance for seeking ongoing and preventive health care or emergency care
3. Physician Care: Resources to support physician health and well-being, along with resources to support safe care
environments and ongoing education

“Health care is deeply personal, and we know Minnesotans trust their physicians to help them make good care decisions,” said
Stelter. “Recently, confusion and fear have prevented people from seeking the regular care needed to stay healthy. We encourage
them to work closely with their physicians to proactively Practice Good Health, and to share their experiences and tips with their
friends and family.”

Practice Good Health is a direct extension of the MMA’s mission to make Minnesota the healthiest state in which to live and practice
medicine. The MMA has been the leading voice of medicine in Minnesota for 167 years and is committed to using that platform to
help families feel confident and supported to Practice Good Health today, tomorrow and into the future.

Join the conversation online via Facebook and Twitter and share ways to #PracticeGoodHealth. Resources will be available and will
be regularly updated on mmed.org/PracticeGoodHealth.
