Description
Black Women's Health Imperative, the new name of the National Black
Women's Health Project, is a leading African American health education,
research, advocacy and leadership development institution. Founded in
1983 by health activist Byllye Y. Avery, it has been a pioneer in
promoting the empowerment of African American women as educated health
care consumers and a strong voice for the improved health status of
African American women. The organization is gaining the well-earned
reputation as the leading force for health for African American women.
Black Women's Health Imperative possesses national stature as the only
national organization devoted solely to the health of the nation's 19
million Black women and girls. Our mission is to promote optimum health
for Black women across the life
span - physically, mentally and spiritually.
