The Grand Rapids African American Health Institute (GRAAHI) is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is funded by numerous entities that are equally committed to its mission.
The Grand Rapids African American Health Institute (GRAAHI) is a non-profit organization committed to advocating for health parity in the African American community through promoting education and change in public health policy. As a fan of GRAAHI's Facebook page, from time-to-time we may attempt to reach out to you to be an advocate for our cause. Thank you for supporting our mission and guiding our vision.
GRAAHI’s mission is “To promote health care parity in the Grand Rapids African American community through advocacy, education and research to achieve positive health outcomes.” By promoting health care parity or equality, GRAAHI will have an impact on the health disparities that currently exist for African Americans who live in this community.
Meeting GRAAHI’s mission will then assist in meeting its vision. GRAAHI’s vision is “To ensure that all West Michigan residents will have optimal health care and benefit from health systems without race being an impediment.” In other words, cultural competent care will be received by all without one’s color or ethnic origin being a factor to those providing or receiving the care.
