national coordinator

Rose Roach is the National Coordinator for the Labor Campaign for Single Payer and serves as Chair of Healthcare for All Minnesota. 

 

Rose recently retired as the Executive Director of the MN Nurses Association, MNA, after 34 years in the labor movement having represented public school employees in both MN, her home state and CA before being hired at MNA in 2014. 

 

For two decades, Rose has been involved in the healthcare justice movement, as a trainer and national speaker while working with elected officials to craft legislation that moves us to a patient/provider-centered healthcare system.

 

Rose was recognized by the MN Physician’s Magazine as one of their quadrennials, top 100 leaders in healthcare in 2016 and 2020.  Rose has served on former MN Governor Mark Dayton’s Healthcare Financing Task Force as well as MN’s Attorney General Keith Ellison’s Lowering Pharmaceutical Costs Task Force. Recently, she received the Women’s Trailblazer Award from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and was the 2019 recipient of the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s Paul Wellstone Lifetime Commitment to Organized Labor Award.
