612 MASH INCORPORATED

Description

Our vision is to create a globally recognized model, which will foster socially conscious and culturally competent healthcare providers. We overcome barriers to equitable care, by delivering dignified, respectful, and quality care to vulnerable populations. 612 MASH was created during the uprising and protests following the public lynching of George "Perry" Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A group of medical professionals and community members were drawn together in the immediate aftermath to provide and coordinate free medical care to those that were injured and traumatized. Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, street medics, and many other types of medical professionals joined forces to create 612 MASH Inc (Minneapolis All Shall Heal) a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The original focus was emergent care for community members and visitors that gathered at the space from all over the world. We saw everything from minor injuries to serious injuries such as gunshot wounds, lacerations, anaphylaxis, etc. From the very beginning, it was clear the community had a profound, unmet need for free, equitable, and culturally competent health care that understood and validated the current and historical trauma of our diverse patients.
