Others

Broad incumbents

• Black Women's Health Imperative: National nonprofit focused on advancing health equity and wellness for Black women through advocacy, policy, and community programs. Comparable in its African American health equity mission and community-based programming model, but operates at national scale with larger funding base.
• Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine: Health equity institute focused on eliminating health disparities through research, leadership development, and community engagement. Highly comparable mission around African American health outcomes and systems-change approach to disparities.
• National Medical Association: Largest U.S. organization representing African American physicians and their patients, with programs focused on health equity and clinical pipeline. Comparable in addressing African American health disparities and clinician-led governance, but operates at national scope.
• Healthy Communities Initiative (YMCA): National nonprofit operating community health, fitness, and chronic disease prevention programs including diabetes prevention and walking clubs. Comparable community-based health programming targeting obesity and chronic disease, but operates at much larger scale with national infrastructure.
