New Resources for Advancing Equity for AA & NH/PI Communities in COVID-19 Response Efforts

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NH/PI) communities in the United States—including South Asian and Southeast Asian communities— faced increased xenophobia, religious discrimination, racism, and violence. While the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has ended, response and recovery efforts must continue to meet the needs of diverse communities.

In the latest post on the OMH Blog for Health Equity, Juliet Bui, Director of the Division of Policy and Data for the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH), highlights OMH’s efforts to develop guidance on best practices that advance cultural competency, language access, and sensitivity toward AA and NH/PI communities in the context of the federal COVID-19 response.
