An initiative of the Drexel University School of Public Health’s Center for Health Equality and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health, the National Consensus Panel is comprised of a unique and leading group of national, state and local organizations who came together for the first time to define a unified set of priorities for preparing and responding to culturally diverse communities in public health emergencies. These priorities are highlighted in the National Consensus Statement. For further background information on the National Consensus Panel and Statement, please visit the link provided above. |
