Beyond leading Children’s Minnesota, Dr. Gorelick puts his influence and expertise to frequent use, speaking boldly on issues and advocating for change that will help kids thrive. He recently wrote a commentary piece for Minnesota’s most widely read newspaper, calling out the harm being done to children and families through denying essential care for all children regardless of gender identity and affirming support for transgender and gender-diverse kids. He also testified before state lawmakers in favor of the CROWN Act, to protect people of all ages from discrimination based on hair texture and style. His efforts have led to him being recognized by state leaders as a leading voice for children, asking him to join Minnesota’s Equitable Health Care Task Force, which is tackling care inequalities statewide. His recent accolades include being named one of the area’s most admired CEOs by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal in 2020.
