Continue Improving Health Outcomes Through Better Understanding
As National Minority Health Month comes to an end, I encourage everyone—individuals, community-based organizations, federal, state, and local governments, as well as other public and private entities—to continue promoting this year’s theme of Better Health Through Better Understanding.
Let’s continue to focus on improving health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities by providing culturally and linguistically appropriate healthcare services, information, and resources.

You can play an active role in ensuring healthier, stronger racial and ethnic minority communities by:
Wishing you, your families, and your communities Better Health Through Better Understanding all year long.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health

Consider attending upcoming events hosted by
OMH’s partners focused on racial and ethnic minority and AI/AN health.
