About Disparities:Ending Health Care Disparities:Community Benefit:Kaiser Permanente

Congratulations to Kaiser Permanente, both for creating a public resource about ending disparities in health care, and for using an inclusive definition of vulnerable populations:

Disparities in health and health care impact everyone. Persons most affected include African Americans, American Indian/Alaska Natives, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics/Latinos, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people. Others at risk include the elderly, the homeless, intravenous drug users, substance abusers, infected persons, persons with disabilities, prisoners.
