Consumers should have carbon monoxide alarms in homes or other buildings that utilize gas. If consumers do smell even a faint odor of gas or a gas leak, they should immediately leave the building and call 911 or their gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Do not light a match, turn on a light or switch on anything electrical.

CDC Press Release: CDC Highlights Programs that Reduce U.S. Health Disparities

Press Release

 

Thursday, February 11, 2016

                                                                         

Contact: CDC Media Relations

404-639-3286                                                 

 

CDC Highlights Programs that Reduce U.S. Health Disparities

Programs address wide range of disparities across different health conditions

 

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.

“Programs designed to build health equity are a smart investment for improving health outcomes. Public health professionals can enhance the impact of strategies for reducing health disparities, disseminate and tailor these strategies to reach more communities, and determine how to expand these strategies for even greater impact by rigorously applying lessons learned from these efforts,” said CDC’s Associate Director for Minority Health and Health Equity Leandris Liburd, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.A.

For more information about health disparities visit the CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity site.
