UMN GI and North Minneapolis Healthy Gut Project

The University of Minnesota Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition is looking to engage with the community in North Minneapolis. We are hoping to form mutually beneficial partnerships with residents and organizations alike through GI health education, resources, and research.

Our research focuses on the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is the community of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms living in your colon. The diversity of this community impacts your health in many ways. It can influence not only your digestive system, but also your cardiovascular system, risk of conditions like diabetes and obesity, and your mental health.

Please fill out the following survey to let us know how we can be a resource for and partner of the community
