Sasheen Goslin: Public Health Advocate & Scholar

Community Health Conversations, COVID-19 November 16, 2023

Welcome back to Community Health Conversations! Hosts Leah Lemm (Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe) and Dr. Antony Stately Ph.D. (Ojibwe/Oneida) lead insightful discussions about the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare in Indian Country. They discuss the valuable lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic and explore how Native communities are responding and adapting beyond COVID-19.

Today, we’re joined by Sasheen Goslin who turned her passion for her community into a career of keeping people safe. During the pandemic, Sasheen changed the tone in Duluth around COVID-19. When people didn’t believe in the virus, others were dying – mostly the underserved and those without access to healthcare. The American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO), where she led the initiative, took a different approach. They integrated their traditions and belief systems, how they show love, into the public health model and changed the conversation, making a huge difference in the community at large. Now, she continues her community health journey with her enrollment into the University of Minnesota-Duluth’s Masters of Tribal Administration and Governance program. 

Dr. Stately would also like to remind listeners that they may believe they have a regular cold or allergies, but they can utilize the resources available, such as the free testing kits, to be sure you don’t have COVID-19. And, be proactive by getting the recently released vaccine. Minnesota residents who have symptoms or have COVID-19 can qualify to receive treatment at co-cost through the Test to Treat Program.
