This April, celebrate National Minority Health Month (NMHM) by being the source of better health. NMHM is a time to raise awareness of the importance of improving the health of people in racial and ethnic minority communities. This year’s theme focuses on understanding how our cultures, communities, and connections impact our overall health. Learn more about social determinants of health (SDOH) and take action within your communities to Be the Source for Better Health!
CDC recognizes NMHM as an opportunity to bring attention to health inequities and what we are doing address health disparities. A March 2024 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report shows how social and economic conditions impact health and health care in the U.S. Understanding disparities in SDOH and health-related social needs among populations is essential to determining strategies toward advancing health equity.
