July is Black Family Month! A special time for us to honor the strength, resilience and rich heritage of our families. The family is the backbone of society, playing a vital role in shaping communities and generations. It is within our families that we learn many things, such as values, life lessons, and build confidence and self-esteem. This month is the perfect time to strengthen family ties, support one another, and cultivate a sense of belonging and pride. Whether it’s cooking family recipes, going on a trip organizing a family reunion, enjoying a delicious barbecue, or having a storytelling
session with our elders, let’s make it a point to engage in activities that bring us closer.

It’s National Minority Health Month (NMHM)! This month-long celebration observed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) highlights the need for better health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some chronic diseases and the factors that lead to them are more common or severe for certain racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. Economic stability, education access and quality, social and community context, and health care access and quality are some of the factors that influence health disparities.
