Last week, The White House held its first Minority Health Forum – convening health leaders, advocates, physicians, and researchers to discuss how we can reduce health inequities and address social determinants of health. Check out a recap of the event. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
If we want to reduce chronic disease and improve health outcomes for minority communities, we must expand access to care for treatable diseases like obesity and address the underlying injustices at the root of these inequities. #NMHM24
We are pleased to see the work that @SecBecerra and the Department of Health and Human Services are doing to uplift Latino voices and address the disproportionate impact of chronic diseases like obesity through their tour of Latino health! Check it out ⬇️

This week marks the beginning of #MinorityHealthMonth! This month and every month, we’re joining countless other organizations to call for improved health outcomes for minority groups everywhere – because all patients deserve the highest standard of care. #NMHM24
Here’s the truth: Obesity is one of the greatest public health issues impacting American women, especially women of color. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re calling for an end to the sexist stigma surrounding this disease and are urging our leaders to expand access to treatment.

OPINION: The seriousness of the obesity epidemic and its impact on overall Hispanic health cannot be ignored, writes doctor @AntoniaNovello , the 14th Surgeon General of the US. It is time for direct and timely interventions to reduce obesity. uni.vi/ve0M103Ik3M
