Who We Are:  

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Health Promotion Alliance
Project is a partnership among four HBCU's and three state agencies in North
Carolina.  The partners are North Carolina A&T State University, St. Augustine's
College, Fayetteville State University and North Carolina Central University along
with North Carolina Office Of Minority Health, the Division of Medical Assistance and
the Office of Rural Health.

Previous projects funded by Kate B. Reynolds Charitable trust Grant and Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation.  Current projects funded by the North Carolina
Department of Health and Human Services.

Our Goals:

The partnership's goal is to improve the health status of African Americans by
examining the use of health care services and to remove barriers in order to
increase the use of services.  The priority population to be reached by the Alliance
are low-income persons, with a focus on individuals who are Medicaid eligible.
