National Minority Health Month

April is National Minority Health Month (NMHM), a time to raise awareness about the importance of improving the health of racial and ethnic minority communities and reducing health disparities.

By raising awareness about these disparities and promoting efforts to improve health equity,  National Minority Health Month can help to reduce the burden of chronic disease and improve overall health outcomes for minority populations. It is also an opportunity to promote cultural competency and understanding among healthcare providers and to encourage the development of policies and programs that address the root causes of health disparities.
