Racial Disparities in our health care - 2008 Legislative Agenda

It’s important that the state of CT take action now to address the racial disparities in our health care system. We’ll be urging legislative leaders to fund the Office of Minority Health, and invest in translator services and cultural competency training for medical professionals. While the causes of health disparities are complex, we know that racial and ethnic minorities in CT are more likely to lack health insurance, receive lower-quality care, and suffer from worse health outcomes.
