“Health cannot be a question of income; it is a fundamental human right”

Helping to close the disparity gap in minority health and care.

The National Minority Health Association (NMHA), a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1988. Its mission is to help bring about health equity and work to close the disparity gap in health and healthcare for underserved, marginalized, hard-to-reach, and minority communities.

Today the NMHA is deploying _Operation Healthy You_™ (OHY), a program to identify areas of healthcare inequality and work with healthcare providers and community resources to address identified needs. The OHY program is intended to lower the long-term overall cost of health care and improve outcomes for minority and underserved communities.
