What is NOPAIN MN?

To reduce Minnesotans’ reliance on opioid prescriptions to treat chronic pain, MDH has partnered with Hennepin Healthcare System to launch NOPAIN MN – a comprehensive, searchable public resource that maps the locations of non-opioid pain management providers across the state. The map Includes providers of psychotherapy, acupuncture, yoga, massage therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and more.

The NOPAIN MN map highlights services that have been demonstrated to reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life. As alternatives to using opioid prescriptions for pain management, these often-underused options can provide effective treatment with no risk of substance misuse.

Visit https://nopainmn.org/ for more information.

This website map of Minnesota is designed for anyone to find evidence-based non-opioid and non-pharmacological pain treatment methods, options, and qualified providers throughout the state.

Whether you're packing lunches, preparing dinner or getting ready for a fall gathering, remember four important food-safety steps:

𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧. 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞. 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥.

Wash hands and surfaces, keep raw foods separate from ready-to-eat foods, cook foods thoroughly and refrigerate perishable foods promptly. These simple practices can help prevent foodborne illness.

Flu season is right around the corner, and getting your annual flu vaccine is one of the best ways to help protect yourself and the people around you.

The flu can cause serious illness, especially for older adults, young children, pregnant people and those with certain chronic health conditions. An annual flu vaccine can reduce your risk of getting sick and lower the risk of severe illness if you do get the flu.

Now is a good time to make a plan. Talk with your health care provider or pharmacist about when and where to get your flu vaccine this season.

Protect yourself. Protect your family. Help protect your community.
