ORLANDO, FL – April is National Minority Health Month, and the Florida Department of Health in Orange County (DOH-Orange) seeks to raise awareness about health disparities that impact racial and ethnic minority populations in our community. DOH-Orange also encourages action through health education, early detection, and control of disease complications. Celebrated every year in April, this year’s theme is Give Your Community a Boost!

To commemorate National Minority Health Month, DOH-Orange will host the O-Town Spring Fest on April 30, 2022.
