  • 1.  Black History Month + Sharing Information + Resources

    Posted 02-16-2023 06:13:00 PM

    Hi AAMC Community! I hope your February is going amazing! With February being Black History Month and the ongoing importance each day, each month to learn and celebrate increased initiatives supporting Black Health equity, I am hoping we can all share and spread knowledge to promote increased awareness about literature, films, articles, organizations, and/or toolkits and resources promoting Black Health and Wellbeing. 

    Here are some I have found useful and are sharing:

    1.     Black Maternal Health https://blackmamasmatter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/USPA_BMMA_Toolkit_Booklet-Final-Update_Web-Pages.pdf

    2.     Mental Health https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/docs/byomm_fulltoolkit.pdf

    3.     Office of Minority Health (HHS) https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=1&lvlid=3

    4.     National Minority Quality Forum Resources on Health https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=1&lvlid=3
