Achieving Optimal Well-being by Reducing Disparities and Promoting Health Equity During National Minority Health Month

On this last day of National Minority Health Month, let us continue to live our commitment to eliminate disparities and to advance health equity.  Health Equity exists when all people — regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, geographic location or other societal constructs — have the same access and resources to achieve optimal health and well-being. Social, economic and environmental factors are strong contributors to health inequities. Employers can make a difference through intentional design of programs and policies to support health and well-being across diverse populations in the workplace, as well as through partnerships in community to impact areas where people live, work and play.
