"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the people of the Gulf Region," said Dr. Graham. "As we mobilize to respond to the needs of communities displaced by Hurricane Katrina and help them rebuild, it's also important that we continue our efforts to improve the health of racial and ethnic minorities across the nation."
