STRONGER COMMUNITIES, HEALTHIER NATION

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health fulfills a congressional mandate to make sure no community is left behind when it comes to health. The nation benefits when chronic diseases decline, preventive health improves, and access to care expands for all Americans, including those who are economically or medically vulnerable.

To Make America Healthy Again we must ensure that every community has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a healthier and stronger America.
