Founded more than a decade ago, The African American Wellness Project
(AAWP) was organized to respond to inequities in the health care
delivery system. African Americans suffer from health conditions at a
disproportionately higher rate and need to know how to organize their
health care delivery options in a way that allows them to best utilize
health care services.
At AAWP, we believe that health disparities will continue to exist if we don’t
take action. We provide the resources, information and tools that you
need to get the best quality healthcare possible regardless of
insurance or circumstance and serve as an advocate to ensure the best
health and health care possible. AAWP is a “good prescription” for
Black America.
