Telligen is proud to recognize National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and raise awareness of the disparities that exists for these populations.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) These communities account for more than 7% of the U.S. population and have the fastest population growth rate among all racial and ethnic groups, having almost doubled since 2000. However, in 2019 up to 10% of Asian Americans and 12.3% of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders did not have health insurance.

In addition to the CMS resources provided below, Telligen is proud to offer our own suite of health equity solutions for identifying and eliminating healthcare disparities to improve health for all.
