Abstract: OMH sought to establish the priorities for a national strategy using a community-oriented approach. The result is the National Stakeholder Strategy for Achieving Health Equity (National Stakeholder Strategy). It is a roadmap for eliminating health disparities through cooperative and strategic action. Blueprints for Action will align with the National Stakeholder Strategy to help guide action at the local, state, and regional levels. There will be blueprints for the 10 HHS regions. Targeted initiatives will be organized by partners in the public and private sectors in support of the NPA.
