“A supplement to the CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Report, published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, highlights programs that reduce disparities by race/ethnicity, geography, disability, and/or sexual orientation across a range of different health conditions. “Reducing and eliminating health disparities is fundamental to building a healthier nation,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.  “With science-based and effective interventions, we can close health disparity gaps in America.” The supplement demonstrates that we can make progress in overcoming public health disparities through meaningful community and local health authority involvement.”
