Perhaps great minds think alike. Fresh off of EBN‘s April coverage of health care disparities, the National Business Group on Health las week released an issue brief, “Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities: A Business Case Update for Employers,” part of a two-year major initiative to help employers reduce racial and ethnic health disparities in the workplace and improve the quality of health care for minority populations.
NBGH has partnered with the Department of Health and Human Services´ Office of Minority Health to strengthen ongoing partnerships and build new business-community coalitions to help reduce racial and ethnic health disparities. One outcome of this initiative was the development of information and tools to help employers address disparities.
