HND Health Disparities

“To eliminate disparities, we must know enough (research); do enough (deliver the outcomes); care enough (commitment); and persevere enough (don't get discouraged).” - David Satcher, Director, Morehouse School of Medicine, National Center for Primary Care

Groups of people in North Dakota experience health disparities, which are inequalities in their health status, utilization, or access to health care due to a number of barriers. The Health Disparities Committee is a partnership of programs and organizations with facilities and resources to support populations experiencing disparities. Through collaboration, this group is working to document disparities and develop approaches to eliminate health disparities.
