April is Minority Health Month! Established by the Ohio Commission of Minority Health in April 1989, Minority Health Month is designed to promote healthy living and disease prevention, as well as to bring awareness to the health disparities that minorities face.
April is also Cancer Control Month! According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), Cancer Control Month aims to bring cancer control and prevention to the forefront. An ACS report states that African Americans have the highest cancer death rate of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. In order to lower the mortality rate of African Americans, we must be conscious of the health disparities that minorities face.
For more information about cancer and health disparities, please visit our Cancer and African American Health topics, as well as reading the articles below:
