Creating a stronger pipeline for Black women in the health professions
The Emerging Healthcare Leaders Advocate Training Program (EHL-ATP) provides leadership development, cultural competency and advocacy training for young Black women who are interested in and/or pursuing a health profession. Our goal is to continue to strengthen the pipeline of Black women and girls in the healthcare professions as a means to reducing health disparities and improving overall health and wellness in Black communities. The program is funded by a grant from The California Wellness Foundation.
