NMHA History
The NMHA, launched in 1988, and incorporated as a 501c3 not-for--profit organization in Pennsylvania, by Dr. David L. Dalton, was founded and established to address the appropriate prescribing of medications to minorities and to provide accurate information related to diseases that affect minority communities. To accomplish this, the organization sought and realized the establishment of Offices of Minority Health in all 50 states.
Founding directors included Dr. Dalton, Fred Foard, and Gail Davis. Leroy Robinson, (deceased) served as its initial Executive Director. Having accomplished its initial mission, the organization seeks to now fulfill its next mission of helping to close the disparity gap in minority health care. It hopes to accomplish this mission through a unique program developed by the NMHA under the name Operation Healthy You™.
WHO WE ARE
National Minority Health Association
While COVID19 has been devastating in so many ways for so many communities, it has impacted minority communities disproportionately. Numerous factors play a role including limited access, lack of utilization due to related costs for needed services such as insurance, childcare, transportation, and the list goes on.
Certain occupations also put minorities at greater risk than the population at large. Minorities and disadvantaged people comprise much of the “essential” employee pool. With jobs such as home health aides, assisted living facility workers, fast food workers, delivery, retail, and other service industries there are higher concentrations of minority workers. While healthcare disparities did not start with COVID19, the pandemic has focused a spotlight on them for the world to see.
Addressing these disparities will significantly lessen the gap between the quality of health care provided to minority and underserved communities.
