Empowering Health, Building Community
Empowering Health, Building Community
The African American Health Coalition works to develop a greater understanding of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). We are working toward this goal by providing education presentations at our bimonthly general meetings, inviting community based organizations to attend meetings to learn about SDOH and to join the coalition in our efforts, and inviting community members to learn about SDOH and to join the coalition in our efforts.
African American Health Coalition meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of every other month virtually via Zoom.
Here are the notes and information from our past General Meetings!
The upcoming meeting will be held soon. Sign up below!
