Public Health is celebrating Minority Health Month in April with free events all month long!
The focus of Minority Health Month is to improve health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities, and to empower individuals to live healthier lives.
"Minorities have historically been at a disadvantage when it comes to having the support and resources needed to live a healthy life,” said Donecha Daniels, Project Manager, Local Office on Minority Health, “Public Health is working hard to help remove existing barriers to good health; that are present where we live, work and play.”
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.
- Increase ongoing community support to improve minority health.
Celebrate Public Health Month this April with us! We’re hosting a variety of FREE events, including:
- Minority Health Month Expo
- Healing for Suicide Survivors
- Seizure Recognition Training
- CPR Training and more!
