Even with all the advances in medicine and preventative care, there are some minority groups in America who are still having a hard time receiving the health care they need. In some cases, the lack of care may be due to poverty; in other cases it may be due to a language barrier. During National Minority Health Month, the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) wants to call attention to these disparities in order to improve access to quality health care and education. Georgia has taken a look at which counties had the best minority health outcomes and which counties had the greatest challenges and issued their findings in Health Disparities Report 2008: A County-Level Look Health Outcomes for Minorities in Georgia. These findings have spurred discussion and action in communities across Georgia to work to achieve health equity. Listen to the April edition of the Georgia Wellcast to learn more about National Minority Health Month.
