NIMHD Launches Language Access Portal
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health
Disparities (NIMHD) has launched a new resource for our stakeholders who work
with health disparity populations with limited English proficiency: the
Language Access Portal (LAP).
The LAP contains information, in multiple languages, for six
disease areas where major health disparities have been identified in
non-English speaking populations. Disease areas currently include cancer,
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more. New disease areas will continue to
be included and additional resources will be incorporated as they become
available.
The new portal supports NIH’s comprehensive Language Access
Plan by providing access to reliable cross-cultural and linguistically appropriate
health information from NIH and other federal agencies.
