The Minority Health program's aim is to provide health education and assistance in finding resources for the minority populations in Platte and Colfax counties. The main focus of health education is in the areas of diabetes, obesity, and mental health improvement. Bilingual staff conduct free health classes and can answer community questions.

East Central, CHI, Central Community College-Columbus and Columbus Community Hospital are teaming up to put on a Minority Health and Wellbeing Fair, but we need YOUR help!

The Minority Health Fair will be April 29, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. (tentative time), at ECDHD's FEMA Room, and outdoors as weather permits. A table and 2 chairs will be provided for each participating group/agency.

Our Goal is to provide the minority community with screenings and information about local programs and services. We'd like to showcase your services and programs at the Fair. Booth registration is FREE! To make sure we have space for everyone, please email the following information to Loree Rivas by 3/17 at lrivas@ecdhd.ne.gov

More information will be provided as we get closer to April 29!  We are excited to have you be part of this community outreach!
