Our Vision:<\/em><\/h5>\n

A nation committed to the elimination of health disparities, the facilitation of health and equal access to quality health and health care resources regardless of race, ethnicity or socio-economic status.<\/p>\n

Our Mission:<\/em><\/h5>\n

To increase the capacity of underserved racial and ethnic communities across the U.S. to achieve health equity.<\/p>\n

Our REACH:<\/em><\/h5>\n

The National REACH Coalition (NRC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Washington, DC, was funded in 2004 to support a network of community-based organizations spanning across 50 states and U.S. territories and committed to achieving racial and ethnic health equity.<\/p>\n

Racial\/Ethnic Groups We Serve:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAfrican Americans\/Black
\nAsian Americans
\nPacific Islanders
\nHispanic\/Latinos
\nNative Americans
\nCaribbean Islanders<\/p>\n

Each organization utilizes community-driven and evidence and\/or practice-based strategies to identify and address the social determinants of health disparities among racial\/ethnic populations across the nation.<\/p>\n

Our Approach<\/em><\/h5>\n

The NRC supports organizations in developing community-centered, racially and ethnically appropriate interventions that are practice\/evidence based to advance a social model of environmental, programmatic, and infrastructural change at the local, state and national levels.<\/p>\n

Key principles of any intervention includes the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Impacted communities are actively engaged and participate in all stages of decision making, research, evaluation, policy and program development<\/li>\n
  • Community interventions are culturally relevant and address the effects of racism and inequalities in the socio-economic status of each community<\/li>\n
  • All efforts are designed to support collaboration and equity in partnerships between traditional researchers, public health agencies and local communities<\/li>\n
  • Resources are invested in local community organizations to build and sustain community capacity and increase the evidence for community-based interventions through documentation and dissemination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
