Background
As part of its Initiative to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health, HHS focuses on six major areas in which racial and ethnic minorities experience serious disparities in health access and outcomes — diabetes, heart disease and stroke, cancer, infant mortality, child and adult immunizations and HIV/AIDS. Through Closing the Health Gap, HHS will air health education segments that address the major focus areas of HHS' health disparities initiative, as well as other health issues that are critically important to people of color.
Partnerships
Building upon the momentum of the past three years and the expansion of the Closing the Health Gap campaign, HHS is seeking additional partners to assist in reaching all racial and ethnic minority populations.
