June 30, 2004, Los AngelesBuilding Up Healthy Communities, Breaking Down Health Disparities
Racial and ethnic health disparities are a pervasive and ever-growing problem. These disparities are due in part to lack of health care access. However, there are other factors that play an essential role in a community’s health such as poverty, inadequate housing, poor transportation infrastructure, and harmful environmental conditions. The elimination of health disparities requires not only addressing access to health care but also the many community factors that result in illness and disease. This approach necessitates broad collaboration among different sectors to improve the factors impacting the health of a community.
