Health equity major highlight of National Minority Health Month

April is Minority Health Awareness Month. According to the CDC, the goal is to highlight the importance of improving health outcomes for racial and minority groups. Also, according to the CDC, those disparities are created when people are disadvantaged by social or economic status, location or environment.

Dr. Brandon Blue has dedicated his career to treating cancer patients and raising awareness among patients and colleagues at Moffitt Cancer Center.

“The thing about cancer: cancer does not discriminate. And unfortunately, for a lot of different cancers, they affect people of color. And so, I knew that I needed a way to give back to my community,” said Dr. Blue. “My people need me. I’m from Tampa Bay, I’m here in the Tampa Bay community to make a change.”
