Steps in the right direction

Studies show that racial and ethnic minorities in the United States receive lower-quality health care than non-minorities do. We're committed to addressing these differences by:

  • Finding the best opportunities to improve the quality of care
  • Developing programs for health conditions more common among minorities
  • Working with experts to help us find new ways to reduce health care inequality
