Funded by Minnesota Department of Health Cannabis & Substance Use Prevention Grant

The Richfield Advisory Board of Health is a resident advisory board comprised of seven Richfield residents with an interest in community health. They are responsible for advising and making recommendations to the City Council on matters relating to the development, funding, and evaluation of community health services and programs. They meet seven times a year and have been instrumental in tobacco policy changes and are now working toward developing cannabis education and youth prevention information for Richfield residents.

Promoting and safeguarding public health is a collaborative effort that relies on both community input and proactive leadership. In Richfield, dedicated residents work together to ensure that local health initiatives reflect the needs and priorities of the people they serve. Their commitment has led to significant progress in areas that impact the well-being of all community members.

Citizen participation is an important ingredient for good government. The Richfield City Council established numerous advisory commissions to encourage citizen participation in city matters, suggest new programs or policies, and to serve as liaisons with the City Council. The city accepts applications for Commission openings every October. You can find more information here.
