Featured Speaker: Munira Maalimisaq, FNP
Munira Maalimisaq is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Founder and CEO of Inspire Change Clinic, where she provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive primary care to underserved communities. Her work is grounded in addressing both immediate health needs and the systemic barriers that shape access to care.
She leads the Pathway to Medicine Fellowship, mentoring underrepresented students pursuing careers in healthcare, and oversees community-driven initiatives such as the Motherhood Circle, which focuses on vaccine confidence, chronic disease education, and expanding access to care for immigrant and underserved populations.
In 2025, during healthcare disruptions related to Operation Metro Surge, she launched community-based initiatives to sustain access to care for immigrant communities facing significant barriers to traditional healthcare systems. She mobilized a network of volunteer clinicians to deliver care directly in the community. Since then, the clinic has served more than 300 patients through home visits, transportation assistance, care coordination, and crisis support.
Her leadership has been recognized through her selection to the 2026 Young American Leaders Program at Harvard Business School, inclusion on the Minneapolis–St. Paul Business Journal “40 Under 40” list, and her 2025–2026 Policy Fellowship at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, where her work focuses on addressing the systemic policies that create barriers to equitable healthcare access.
