Public health clinics and TB incidence
Summary
The county's clinics (immunizations, TB, sexual health at Clinic 555 — the only Title X site in Minnesota) served mostly uninsured and low-income residents, plus 70,000+ encounters in correctional facilities. Ramsey's TB rate runs three times the state average and four times the national goal; only three TB clinics exist statewide.

Impact analysis
TB care for uninsured patients is a county cost; the federal Title X grant does not fully cover clinic costs; state-operated services and stagnant grants strain the budget.
Uninsured, underinsured, and low-income residents who rely on the county as a health care safety net.
