About The Center for Black Health & Equity
We work to facilitate the implementation and promotion of comprehensive policies, community-led programs and culturally competent public health campaigns that benefit people of African descent.
The Center for Black Health & Equity (formerly NAATPN, Inc.) is a 20-year-old organization that exists to facilitate the implementation and promotion of comprehensive policies, community-led programs and culturally competent public health campaigns that benefit African Americans. We are committed to addressing the social and economic injustices that have marginalized our communities and led to deep health disparities.
For the past 10 years, The Center has operated as one of eight designated national networks under the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. In this capacity, we provide tobacco control leadership in the African American community. We provide expert comment, research, and education that have resulted in cities and institutions adopting smoke-free policies and flavor restrictions. Currently, we apply our proven framework for policy and environmental change to our work in HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, COVID-19 and other health disparities."
