National Minority Health Month
April is National Minority Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the health disparities that continue to affect racial and ethnic minority populations. It’s also an opportunity to highlight the importance of equitable access to healthcare, promote healthy lifestyles, and support initiatives that work toward eliminating health inequities. By coming together as a community, we can help ensure everyone has the chance to live a healthier, longer life—regardless of their background.
