April is Minority Health Month!
Minority Health Month (MHM) was created by the Ohio Commission on Minority Health in Ohio in April 1989 with the first celebration featuring community-initiated events. The goal was for one event to be conducted each day throughout Ohio. Minority Health Month was designed to be a 30-day inclusive, high-visibility, wellness campaign
This year’s theme focuses on Achieving Equity in Birth Outcomes.
The five goals of Minority Health Month are to:
- Provide crucial information to allow individuals to practice disease prevention,
- Promote healthy lifestyles,
- Showcase healthcare providers and resources,
- Highlight the unequal health of Ohio’s minorities compared to non-minorities, and
- Increase ongoing community support to improve minority health.
