When you go to a health care appointment related to COVID-19, your provider will ask questions about your REALD demographic information. REALD is an acronym for race, ethnicity, language, and disability. House Bill 4212 (2020 1st Special Session) requires health care providers to ask patients about REALD information at health care visits related to COVID-19. Then they share this information with OHA. This requirement helps the state understand who is most impacted by COVID-19 to better provide funding and services to these communities. Learn more on the REALD website.
