Cristy Curwick Hoff with the Governor’s Interagency Council on Health Disparities says their latest report focuses on ways to reduce differences in poverty, behavioral health and exposure to environmental hazards.
The plan highlights the reasons why Native American men in our state currently live seven fewer years than their white neighbors and how black mothers are twice as likely as white mothers to have a baby die in their first year of life.
Hoff says their "2012 State Policy Action Plan to Eliminate Health Disparities" also highlights things that the state can do now using existing resources.
