The National Institute for African American Health (NIAAH, a non-profit and 501c3) has the central goal of improving the health of African Americans. Institute initiatives include establishing a central venue for matters related to the health, research, and associated medical issues for African Americans while improving healthcare delivery by emphasizing study-driven best practices (NIAAH Certification), patient-centered care, and cultural competence specific to our community. NIAAH will bolster the African American medical workforce by providing academic support services to African American pre-medical and medical students across the United States. NIAAH will also provide advocates to patients and families who feel that their medical care may have been inconsistent with published research and/or community norms.
