The panelists are provided by the National Minority Quality Forum, a research and educational organization dedicated to ensuring that high-risk racial and ethnic populations and communities receive optimal health care, the City of Mesquite said.
"April is National Minority Health Month, so this forum is a good time to raise awareness about health issues that affect Mesquite's diverse population as well as to encourage action through health education, early detection, and control of disease complications," Keheley said.
