April 2019 – Greater Dayton Region Minority Health Month Calendar of Events

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
