National Partnership for Action (NPA) to End Health Disparities
The mission of the National Partnership for Action is to mobilize and connect individuals and organizations across the country to create a Nation free of health disparities, with quality health outcomes for all people.
The existence of health disparities among minority populations is undisputed. The question that confronts us is: what actions can be taken by private and public partners that would improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our collective efforts?
In January 2006 the National Leadership Summit on Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities brought 2,000 experts and community leaders to Washington DC. Organized by the U S Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health (OMH), it reviewed the difficult journey toward equality in health outcomes for African American, Hispanic/Latinos, Asians and Native American Indians. . .
