IDPH: Center for Minority Health Services

The initiative allows culturally competent and linguistically appropriate services to be offered where, and when clients need them, and successful applicants must have the ability to make immediate adjustments to the outreach plan based on input from clients, disease outbreaks, and special community events. The aim of this funding is to reduce health disparities and health inequities in preventative health screenings in medically underserved communities and disadvantaged and vulnerable communities of color in Illinois. All services in conjunction with this grant must have established partnerships in place to provide linkage to care and other wrap-around services as needed. The Initiative is funded through State of Illinois general revenue funding and will provide a variety of preventative screenings. Screenings must include, but are not limited to, HIV, Hepatitis C, and other sexually transmitted infections. Health equity exists when all people have the opportunity to thrive and no one is limited in achieving comprehensive health and wellness because of their social position or any other social factors/determinants of health such as income, education, race/ethnicity, sexual identity, and disability.
