In Case You Missed It: Advancing the Response to COVID-19 Blog Series The HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) is committed to advancing the response to COVID-19 in racial and ethnic minority communities. In September 2020, OMH hosted a virtual symposium highlighting state, tribal, territorial, and community-based efforts to address COVID-19 among racial and ethnic minorities and American Indian and Alaska Native populations. This summer, OMH followed up with some of the virtual symposium presenters to learn how they have continued to make positive impacts in the communities they serve during the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
