Legionnaires’ Disease PSA (:60)

The life expectancy of African Americans has improved, but it’s still an average of four years less than whites. Health differences are often due to economic and social conditions that affect African Americans more than whites throughout their lives. All Americans should have opportunities to pursue a healthy lifestyle. So what can be done?

Community organizations can train community health workers in underserved areas to educate and link people to free or low-cost healthcare services; conduct effective health promotion programs; and help people connect with healthcare providers, take medications as prescribed, and get to follow-up appointments.
