White House Minority Health Blogger Town Hall

The event was an interactive, open dialogue with stakeholder groups and the media to highlight what the health care law, the Affordable Care Act, is doing to improve the health of racial and ethnic minorities.

This year's theme, Health Equity Can't Wait. Act Now in Your CommUNITY!, is a call to action for all of us to work together to reduce health disparities. Learn more about how the Administration is working to improve the health of minority communities and achieve health equity for all Americans.
