“Healthcare is a fundamental human right. The NMA is committed to addressing the health disparities that disproportionately affect Black Americans and ensuring access to quality health care for all.”
“At a time when communities of color are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, a worsening maternal mortality crisis exists, and there continues to be a host of other disparities, the need for diversity in medicine and for perspectives such as ours is critical.”
Access valuable health resources designed to empower and educate. From information on cancer, cardiovascular disease, and HIV/AIDS to resources on women’s health, asthma, and immunization, we are dedicated to promoting healthy living and preventing illness.
