A Lifetime of Healthy Living
Minority Health Coalition of Marion County gives you the tools to experience a better life, starting today.
Join Us!
The Indiana Minority Health Coalition invites you to join us for our Annual Luncheon on April 16, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the JW Marriott Indianapolis. This gathering brings together health care leaders, policymakers, advocates, and community partners from across Indiana to strengthen collaboration and advance better health outcomes for all.
During the program, we will recognize outstanding champions of community health through three distinguished awards: the Founders Award, named in honor of the late Honorable William “Bill” Crawford; the Advocate Award, recognizing the legacy of the late Amos Brown; and the Supporter Award, honoring the late William “Bill” Mays. These awards celebrate individuals and organizations whose leadership continues to move the work of improving health and expanding access to care forward.
The luncheon will feature keynote remarks from Georges C. Benjamin, one of the nation’s most influential voices in public health. As Executive Director of the American Public Health Association, Dr. Benjamin has spent decades working at the intersection of medicine, policy, and community health. His remarks will explore the challenges shaping our nation’s health and the role leaders and communities play in building stronger, healthier systems.
Together, the program will celebrate leadership, highlight progress, and inspire continued action to improve health across Indiana.
Support our efforts for health equity.
Our team at Minority Health Coalition of Marion County has a vision of all residents in our community enjoying a healthy life — no matter their race, ethnicity, or income. Unfortunately, that is not a reality. In Marion County, people of color suffer disproportionately from heart disease, cancer, STDS, obesity, and infant mortality than their white neighbors. Every dollar you donate will support a more equitable and healthier future everyone in our community. Thank you for your donations!
