The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently unveiled the most comprehensive federal commitment yet to reducing racial and ethnic health disparities. The 2011 HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities not only responds to advice previously offered by stakeholders around the nation, but it also capitalizes on new and unprecedented opportunities in the Affordable Care Act of 2010 to benefit diverse communities. The Action Plan advances five major goals: transforming health care; strengthening the infrastructure and workforce of the nation's health and human services; advancing Americans' health and well-being; promoting scientific knowledge and innovation; and upholding the accountability of HHS for making demonstrable progress. By mobilizing HHS around these goals, the Action Plan moves the country closer to realizing the vision of a nation free of disparities in health and health care.
美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）最近公布了迄今为止最全面的联邦承诺，以减少种族和族裔健康差异。2011 年 HHS 减少种族和族裔健康差异行动计划不仅回应了全国利益相关者之前提出的建议，而且还利用了 2010 年《平价医疗法案》中的新的和前所未有的机会，使不同的社区受益。该计划推进了五个主要目标：改变医疗保健；加强国家卫生和人类服务的基础设施和劳动力；促进美国人的健康和福祉；促进科学知识和创新；并坚持 HHS 的责任，以取得明显进展。通过围绕这些目标调动 HHS 的力量，该计划使美国更接近实现一个没有健康和医疗保健差异的国家的愿景。
