- Abstract
Iam forever grateful to my mother and Cheryl Boyce who started andled the very first ever office of minority health back in Ohio, andwhose voices for health equity provide a template for health justicein a country struggling to achieve its democratic promise. The study, fundedby the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities(NIMHD), part of the National Institutes of Health, revealed that in2018, racial and ethnic health disparities cost the U.S. economy $451billion, a 41% increase from the previous estimate of $320 billion in2014. Because here is what theNational Institutes of Health finds: New research shows that the economic burden of health disparitiesin the United States remains unacceptably high.
