BMS Foundation Working to Improve Minorities’ Access to Healthcare
April is National Minority Health Month in the United States and this year the Department of Health and Human Services has chosen the theme, “Accelerating Health Equity for the Nation.” The goal is to raise awareness of the health disparities that continue to affect racial and ethnic minorities and to mobilize groups across the nation, like the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, to work with government and other partners to accelerate the realization of health equity – the attainment of the highest level of health for all people (Healthy People 2020).
