Indianapolis, Indiana — The state health department has a full calendar of events for Minority Health Month, April, and we’re halfway through.
Antoinette Holt leads the office of minority health. Dr. Kris Box is the state health commissioner.
This month highlights the issues and concerns among underserved populations.
According to doctor Kristina Box, it is important to decrease disparities in health outcomes and health metrics in black and brown communities.
The Covid-19 pandemic has allowed them to work with community partners to assess the health issues happening in minority groups.
