Alliance for African American Health
|
The idea for the Alliance for African American Health in Central Texas originated after the “Health Disparities among African Americans in Central Texas” conference was conducted in April 2005, by the Austin/Travis County Health & Human Services Department (now Austin Public Health). This was the third conference conducted by the department since 2001 attempting to raise awareness about health disparities in Central Texas. Critical data presented revealed that from 2000 – 2004, African Americans in Travis County were first in 10 of the 15 leading causes of death. This information was of great concern to conference participants and a need was expressed that more needed to be done to address health disparities.
