Local groups are launching a campaign to address health disparities in Portage County

A group of Portage County social justice groups are inviting residents to attend a series of public forums meant to highlight and solve local health disparities.

Community Action Council of Portage County, Portage County NAACP, the Ohio Commission on Minority Health and other community organizations are putting on the events, starting later this month, thanks to a $15,000 minority health grant from the State of Ohio.
