Let's Take Charge! Campaign  The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health (HHS OMH) has joined forces with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (FDA OMHHE) to launch the Let's Take Charge! Campaign, an initiative to make lupus research more inclusive and diverse. With this campaign HHS OMH and FDA OMHHE and partners will raise awareness about the importance of racial and ethnic minority participation in clinical trials. The campaign will also address patient concerns and myths about research. Together, we can advance health equity and improve the lives of those impacted by this chronic, incurable disease. | Think Cultural Health: Culturally Competent Nursing Care  As healthcare disparities persist in our country, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) is a critical way to improve quality of care to all patients. HHS OMH's free e-learning program for nurses will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and awareness to bridge cultural and communication gaps to provide the best care possible. | |  | | Funding | | Green Space, Health Equity,

Vaccines are the most effective protection we have against serious infection, so talk to your friends, family, and provider about getting vaccinated today. How do we protect children from the Delta variant if they're too young for a COVID vaccine? Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the NIH, explains that vaccinating everyone 12 and older is the best protection for young children. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVIDVaxView to view data on national and state level COVID-19 vaccination and confidence in vaccination among adults using interactive maps, trend lines, bar charts, and data tables. | Request for Information: Interventions to Prevent Work-Related Stress and Support Health Worker Mental Health  The CDC National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
