Support for caregivers starts here.

And during National Minority Health Month, we’re reminded just how critical that support is. Especially in communities that face higher barriers to care. That’s why we’re proud to offer Minority Health Month support in Massachusetts and beyond—every day of the year.

What is Minority Health Month Support in Massachusetts?

Every April, we recognize National Minority Health Month to bring attention to the health disparities that continue to affect racial and ethnic minority groups. It’s not just about awareness. It’s about action.

From lack of access to doctors and language barriers to systemic racism and financial strain, many families face added hurdles when trying to stay healthy. This month is about spotlighting those challenges and working toward real solutions.

Bridging the Gap Through Local Support in Massachusetts

This year’s theme is Bridging the Gap: Building Health Equity Across Communities. It means closing the space between those who have access to care and those who don’t. It means creating a system where everyone can live healthier, fuller lives, no matter their background.

At the heart of this work is trust, representation, and support.

At Vitra Health, we see the gaps every day. Caregivers navigating a confusing healthcare system. Families unsure of their rights. Loved ones missing out on care because it’s not available in their language or doesn’t reflect their culture.

How We Provide Minority Health Month Support in Massachusetts

We support caregivers across Massachusetts, many from historically underserved communities. Here’s how we’re working toward equity in care:

• Language access: We speak your language. Our team offers support in multiple languages so families can get help without a language barrier.
• Culturally competent care: Our care teams reflect the communities we serve. We understand the cultural values and traditions that shape caregiving.
• Financial support: Many families don’t realize they may be eligible to get paid for caring for a loved one. We help them navigate MassHealth and access benefits.
• Local, community-based care: With staff rooted in Brockton, Worcester, Lawrence, and other cities, we’re part of the neighborhoods we serve.

Health Equity Starts at Home

If you’re caring for someone at home, you shouldn’t have to do it alone. And you shouldn’t face more challenges just because of who you are or where you come from.

We’re here to support you. Because bridging the gap starts with showing up, listening, and building trust.

We help families access caregiver support through MassHealth and other programs. Our commitment to Minority Health Month support in Massachusetts is part of how we care for every community, every day.
