National Leadership Summit on Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health, 2006
OMH convened the Second National Leadership Summit on Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health January 9-11, 2006, in Washington, D.C., to celebrate 20 years of progress, challenges and opportunities.
The Summit brought together leaders from all levels of government, academia, public health, mental health, minority-serving institutions, and minority communities to advance key issues and opportunities for improving minority health and closing the health gap. This Summit marked the 20th year since the establishment of OMH.
As a direct result of the 2006 Summit, OMH launched the National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities which promoted a series of Regional Conversations that brought together local, State, Tribal, regional, and federal experts and practitioners, and resulted in the development, dissemination, and implementation of strategic objectives and tactical recommendations known as Regional Blueprints. The culmination of this process is the Third National Leadership Summit on Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health on February 25-27, 2009.
