Welcome to
The Multicultural Health Institute
MHI seeks to level the healthcare playing field by promoting, educating, and ensuring equal healthcare access and treatment for vulnerable populations who experience disparities in rates of disease due to health inequities.
We support programs that educate, identify, and test for diseases such as Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, COVID-19, Diabetes, Infant Mortality, HIV/AIDS, Obesity, Stroke, and other health issues affecting underrepresented communities across the United States which also help reduce the costs of healthcare.
We engage and empower communities to facilitate their self-advocacy and improved navigation through the healthcare system.

COVID-19 Vaccines and Treatment
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.
