Ending Health Care Disparities

 

In the United States today, the health of racial and ethnic minorities, poor people, and other disadvantaged groups is worse than the health of the overall population. We believe ending these disparities is one of the most important issues we face as a nation.

This site is designed to be a central source for research and news on health disparities. Here you can find the latest efforts from academia, government, advocates, and health care providers to study and solve health disparities in America.
