Partnering For Health Equity!
Minority Health Month (MHM) was created in April 1989. It is a 30-day inclusive, high-visibility wellness campaign. In 2000, MHM became a national celebration. Everyone is welcome to participate in all events, which are free and open to the community.
The Five Goals of Minority Health Month are:
- 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
