Office of Minority Health:
Cleveland Department of Public Health
The Cleveland Office of Minority Health is a grant funded program of the Ohio Commission on Minority Health
The goal of the Cleveland Office of Minority
Health (COMH) is to identify local health
disparity needs with an emphasis on
informing, educating, and empowering at risk
communities. This includes Cleveland’s
African-American/Black, Asian,
Hispanic/Latino, and Native American
populations.
The office is responsible for:
- Activating efforts to educate citizens and
professionals on imperative health care
issues.
- Providing minority health data and
technical assistance to local agencies
working to improve the health status of
minority populations.
The COMH works with private and public
partners to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of our collective efforts.
The COMH is supported by the Ohio
Commission on Minority Health and is part of
a national initiative to localize the concept of
racial and ethnic health equity.
