Advocating for health equity concerns in OUR community
We address systemic barriers to Black communities’ access to care with an integrated,
faith-based healthcare advocacy network based in Connecticut Black churches.
HOW WE DO IT
Black churches have historically promoted civil rights, and we advocate for the most vulnerable
in our community. We offer ongoing advocacy training and regular health initiatives in churches.
We focus on supporting black faith leaders.
