Who We Help
About Us
Who We Are:
Minority Health Consultants is an award-winning Public Health, Social Impact & Human Wellness firm🏆 focused on Equity in Health Education, Access, Prevention and Policy.
We work with stakeholders who improve the health and wellness of Minority/BIPOC communities. We believe it's imperative for communities of color to have what they need to thrive and be healthy, thus creating equitable social impact within the public health infrastructure. In an effort to assist with representation, access and cultural competence issues in the public health systems, Owner and Founder Alisa Howard started Minority Health Consultants in 2018 to be that conduit.
MHC works with trained Public Health professionals, Health Educators, Community Health Workers, and Human Service professionals. As well as we mentor the next generation of Public Health practitioners through internships or hiring of undergrads and graduate students.
Equity, equality and social justice is important to MHC’s core values. Therefore, we assist all stakeholders who have a vested interest in bridging these health gaps not only through a social determinants of health lens but also using the 8 Dimensions of Wellness model to assist marginalized, low-income and disproportionately affected populations to achieve better health related outcomes, and bring overall human wellness to these communities.
MHC has been referenced as a community plug, and liason to these demographics by Nevada state officials, grantors & state legislators.
“Long gone are the days of traditional Public Health initiatives. The pandemic of 2020 proved that we have been behind the ball with innovative and creative ways to engage, educate, and work with Minority & BIPOC communities. That must change and we must be that change.”
