We are expanding our focus!

The National Minority Cardiovascular Alliance - an initiative of the Make Well Known Foundation - has been working to achieve cardiovascular health equity among Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indians since 2016. Given that risk factors for CVD, as well as other diseases that substantially impact underserved minority populations (such as cancer and diabetes) are the same; we feel that a slight shift in the focus of the Alliance may enable the organization to better support our constituents.

Risk factors of leading causes of morbidity/mortality

CVD Obesity Tobacco Use Poor diet Excessive alcohol consumption Lack of physical activity Genetics Uncontrolled BP/Cholesterol

Cancer Obesity Tobacco Use Poor diet Excessive alcohol consumption Lack of physical activity Genetics HPV

Diabetes Obesity Tobacco Use Poor diet Excessive alcohol consumption Lack of physical activity Genetics

Going forward, we are broadening our remit and changing our name to the National Minority Health Alliance. Our primary focus will continue to be in support of cardiovascular health equity, but this expanded focus will enable us to better support the health of underserved minority Americans. Thank you to our current partners for your continued support of the Alliance, and we look forward to building new relationships as we continue this important work together.
