Our Mission
Our mission is to eliminate racial disparities in healthcare.
Black Americans face healthcare disparities at higher rates than any other group in America. Black American men and women are dying at alarming rates due to implicit biases and racism in our healthcare system. BlackMD Cares works to bridge that gap by connecting black patients with black dentists, physicians, nurse practitioners, and therapists.
