Why We Care

The National Black Leadership Commission on Health is a not-for-profit organization that centers the health of Black and Brown communities across the United States.

Our work is a tangible response to the current and ongoing multifaceted Black health crisis. Our focus is to address the historic and present failings of the US health system to prioritize high quality, equitable and culturally relevant health care to historically overlooked and medically neglected communities. Black Health addresses all aspects of public health and healthcare systems to providers and government regulations by focusing on education, advocacy and policy.

Originally founded in 1987, to address the AIDS crisis facing Black communities, our work has expanded with the goal of comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention through education, advocacy and health policy.
