SUMMARY:National Minority Health Month
DESCRIPTION:Despite recent progress towards ending health disparities\, racial and ethnic minorities continue to face significant health disparities. Throughout the month of April\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health will partner with state\, local\, federal\, territorial and tribal partners to raise awareness about these ongoing disparities.  \nThe theme for National Minority Health Month 2015 is “30 Years of Advancing Health Equity | The Heckler Report: A Force for Ending Health Disparities in America.” This theme commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Heckler Report\, or the Report of the Secretary’s Task Force on Black and Minority Health\, released in 1985 under the leadership of former HHS Secretary Margaret Heckler. This report marked the first time the U.S. government conducted a comprehensive study of racial and ethnic minority health\, and it elevated minority health to a national stage. \nThis is a great opportunity to focus on covering health disparities\, prevalence of chronic diseases\, caregiving issues and housing. To find out more\, download the logo\, or post events\, visit National Minority Health Month online or contact OMHMedia@hhs.gov. \nDates:April 1 – 30\, 2015

SUMMARY:EIS Annual Scientific Forum 2015
DESCRIPTION:CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) – better known as CDC’s disease detective program – kicks off its annual conference in Atlanta\, GA. The event showcases EIS investigations conducted over the past year\, and covers a wide range of health topics and gives reporters the opportunity to speak with the first responders to health threats.  \nIn 2014\, CDC disease detectives were among the first to respond to the Ebola outbreak\, and many continue to battle the virus in efforts to get to zero new cases.

Since 1951\, more than 3\,500 EIS officers have responded to international and domestic health threats. Nearly half of the lead state epidemiologists and four of the last seven CDC Directors\, including Dr. Tom Frieden\, are EIS graduates. \nDates:          \nApril 20 – April 23\, 2015 \nLocation: \nCrowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel4355 Ashford Dunwoody RoadAtlanta\, GA 30346 \nMedia wanting to attend the EIS Conference should RSVP to CDC Media Relations at media@cdc.gov or 404-639-3286. \nFor more information about the conference or the EIS\, visit the conference page or the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service.
