Join our Coalition of C.A.R.E. and help eliminate health disparities in our community.

GRAAHI, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is at the forefront of the fight against health disparities. Founded on the principle of our Coalition of CARE – Community, Advocacy, Research, and Education, we’ve been working tirelessly for over two decades to address the disproportionate health burdens faced by Black Americans in Kent County and beyond.

While significant progress has been made, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the persistent and pervasive nature of health inequities. To create a truly equitable future, we need to take bold action.
