“Implementing
The Maryland Plan to Eliminate Minority Health Disparities, Plan of Action 2010-2014”
Established in 2008, the Collaborative has over 200 active members, including state health leadership, academic institutions, minority groups and advocates, elected officials, local health departments and others interested in promoting health equity in Maryland.
The mission of the Collaborative is to advise and encourage policies, programs and innovations that improve the health of minorities and all Marylanders. The strategy involves broad and diverse partnerships, race and ethnic data analysis, community participation and empowerment, and efforts to increase awareness.
