About AIDPH
The American Institute on Disparities in Public Health (AIDPH) is a nonprofit organization empowering our community to eliminate health disparities through research, education, and advocacy. AIDPH believes it is our responsibility to address individual, institutional, and systemic barriers that keep communities from achieving optimal health across the lifespan. Everyone deserves valuable, accessible, and affordable healthcare that allows them to achieve their highest health potential. Our work focuses predominantly on healthcare integration, community engagement, workforce development, applied research, advocacy training, and leadership development.
