Hennepin Healthcare System Future Structure and Governance Advisory Task Force establishment

This bill establishes an advisory task force to study the future ownership, governance, and funding of Hennepin Healthcare System, a major public hospital in Minnesota. The 14-member group, appointed by the governor, will include representatives from healthcare leadership, clinical operations, finance, public sector governance, workforce, and patient communities. Their main job is to examine different models for running the hospital, including options beyond current county ownership, and to develop a plan for sustainable long-term financing. The task force must meet regularly, receive administrative support from the state, and submit a final report with specific recommendations and draft legislation by February 2027.
