Helping to close the disparity gap in minority health and care.

The National Minority Health Association (NMHA), a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1988. Its mission is to help bring about health equity and work to close the disparity gap in health and healthcare for underserved, marginalized, hard-to-reach, and minority communities.

Today the NMHA is deploying Operation Healthy You™ (OHY), a program to identify areas of healthcare inequality and work with healthcare providers and community resources to address identified needs. The OHY program is intended to lower the long-term overall cost of health care and improve outcomes for minority and underserved communities.

Talk is great … but can we please DO something right NOW!

We all appreciate all the talk around diversity, equity, and inclusion—it really does help move the conversation and pique people’s interest. But now it’s time to get up and ACT. The NMHA needs you to help us create health equity!

There’s a lot you can do; talking about it is great, doing something about it is better.
