Minority Health

Contact Us

The Minority Health Plan is intended to guide counties in their efforts to create and improve systems, ensuring everyone has opportunities to attain optimal health. This plan acknowledges that collaborative initiatives to address the determinants of health are the most effective at reducing disparities. Determinants of health include economic stability, neighborhood and physical environment, education, food, health care systems, and community context.

Different groups will contribute to the creation of the Minority Health Plan. DOH-Polk will facilitate group discussions and activities, as well as ensure that all grant requirements are met.

For questions, please call 863-519-7900.
