MHI seeks to level the healthcare playing field by promoting, educating, and ensuring equal healthcare access and treatment for individuals and communities who are traditionally uninsured and receive a poor quality of care. We support programs that educate, identify, and test for diseases such as Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity, Stroke, Cardiovascular Disease, Infant Mortality, HIV/AIDS, and other health issues affecting underrepresented communities across the United States which also help reduce the costs of healthcare.

Assistance on How to Register for the COVID-19 Vaccine
With the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, everyone is trying their best to stay at home to lower their risk of infection. However, even with these attempts, going out, whether to shop for necessities or talk with friends, cannot be completely avoided. As a result, some people in the community may have come in contact with someone who has/had been infected with COVID-19 or may have traveled to an area with an ongoing spread of COVID-19.
The Multicultural Health Institute (MHI) is actively working to identify those in greatest need and assist them on how to register for the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition to this, we are trying to reach members of the community who have a high risk of being infected with COVID-19 because of pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, uncontrolled diabetes, or asthma/COPD.
If you believe you may be a high-risk community member and wish to assist MHI in identifying high-risk community members, please complete this survey by clicking the green button above. One can also find additional resources at the top of the survey.
Stay safe, everyone, wear your masks when you go out, wash your hands when you come home and always keep them out of your face!
