The Event Begins Now!
The Teen Health Summit is officially at capacity, but you can still make an impact! Click the sponsorship link and invest in our youth.
The Teen Health Summit is a dynamic event dedicated to educating and empowering teens to take charge of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through interactive workshops, expert-led discussions, and engaging activities, teens will gain valuable insights on a wide range of health topics, including nutrition, mental health, sexual health, substance abuse prevention, and healthy relationships.
African Americans face high rates of death and illness, so we must help them quit smoking, encourage early cancer screenings, get more people tested for HIV, promote healthier lifestyles, and ensure they have access to quality health care.
IAMH programs are being implemented in the state of Mississippi with the goal of addressing the most pressing health issues currently impacting African Americans. We are leading the effort to make optimal health and well-being a reality for all Black women and girls.
As part of our initiatives, we implement campaigns and programs in conjunction with partner organizations in an effort to spread awareness about pertinent health issues among Black minorities.
The Institute was established in 2019 to reduce health disparities among disadvantaged and underserved minority populations in the southern region through program development and implementation, training and technical assistance, organizational capacity building, grant writing and evaluation. The areas covered by the Institute include all 82 counties of Mississippi. We offer full portfolio of health resources that provide a wide array of services, to help reduce health disparities within our community. With our expertise and extensive knowledge and skillset, we improve health outcomes for the underserved and disadvantage throughout the State of Mississippi.
Here are some of the programs we have designed.
