- Provide education on issues related to minority health and health disparities.
- Facilitate communication among organizations involved in minority health issues.
- Translate community concerns into concrete public health strategies.
- Participate in the identification, collection and translation of communities.
- Train individuals from minority communities to become better advocates concerning issues that impact their health and health care.
