Our Story
Founded in 1984 by a group of 100 passionate women in Philadelphia, the Black Women's Health Alliance emerged from the First National Conference on Black Women's Health Issues. Recognizing the lack of representation for African-American women in healthcare discussions, these trailblazers established a platform to amplify their voices. In 2004, the organization was renamed to continue its mission of advocating for the health needs of African-American women and their families.
