The Center for Black Health & Equity

The Center for Black Health & Equity is a non-profit organization committed to the pursuit of health justice for Black people of African descent. We work to facilitate the implementation and promotion of comprehensive and equity-centered policies, community-led programs and culturally competent public health campaigns that benefit people of African descent with an intersectional lens.

The Center for Black Health & Equity envisions a world where all people of African descent are able to obtain their optimal health outcomes. Our mission is to facilitate public health programs and services to benefit communities and people of African descent.

We build the capacity of strategic partners, public health organizations so that they may advocate for culturally appropriate solutions that promote health equity. We focus our efforts on issues related to tobacco use, cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19 disparities, but are expanding our focus areas to various determinants of health.
