This National Minority Health Month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is highlighting its commitment to health equity for all. Achieving health equity requires a systemic change in health care. We need to make sure that communities that have been historically underserved, under-resourced, marginalized, or adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality have equal access and experiences with their health care.
HHS’s Commitment to Health Equity
President Biden and HHS Secretary Becerra are committed to promoting health equity and combating health disparities. From lowering the cost of care, to increasing access to quality care, to continuing the record expansion of affordable health care coverage, HHS is committed to improving health outcomes, especially for vulnerable populations.
