Mission
Our mission is to dismantle racism and accompanying systems of oppression in health, while simultaneously cultivating means for collective liberation that center the needs, priorities, and self-determination of Black people and other people of color, particularly those most marginalized in our communities. We aim to raise awareness of issues pertaining to people of color in the healthcare field and also the populations we serve. Our local chapters additionally try to work to address issues and inequalities in our respective institutions.
