Member committees

We believe our organization is stronger when we listen to our members. In addition to collecting feedback daily through Member Services, we have two committees that meet regularly to share their ideas and experiences.

Enrollee Advisory Council
This member group gives feedback on overall health plan issues, new programs and changes in procedures. Group feedback reflects the priorities and interests of members. 2022-2023 EAC member election
SNBC Advisory Committee
This member group gives feedback about care satisfaction with the Hennepin Health-SNBC health plan, identifies problems and give suggestions for improving our service delivery.

Both committees give members and staff an opportunity to connect and talk on a personal level. The information provided by these groups allows us to improve the quality of and access to care for our members.
