Since 1989, North Carolina’s Community Health Coalition has focused on achieving health equity and eliminating racial health disparities in Durham County and the surrounding areas. Drawing from the experiences of Board President Elaine Hart-Brothers, MD, MPH, notable community partners and community volunteers, nurses, nutritionists and physicians, Community Health Coalition strives to create a society in which all people live long, healthy, active lives full of purpose and promise.

Community Health Coalition particularly focuses on:

  • Awareness of diseases and issues like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, insurance issues and organ and tissue donation

  • Decreasing obesity among minorities within our community

  • Educating the community on the dangers of tobacco and general substance abuse

  • Highlighting and improving mental health services.

Community Health Coalition believes it is the health system’s responsibility to educate and treat the entire community – including the disadvantaged and underserved populations.
