About African American Wellness Project

The African American Wellness Project is a health charity and non-profit organization dedicated to addressing critical inequities in healthcare delivery affecting African American communities in Oakland, CA and beyond. The organization operates on the fundamental belief that while good health begins with diet and exercise, navigating the healthcare system effectively requires organization, knowledge, and advocacy. As a health charity, the African American Wellness Project serves as a vital resource for individuals seeking to maximize their healthcare outcomes and understand their rights within the medical system. The organization focuses on bridging the gap between African Americans and the broader American healthcare infrastructure, recognizing that systemic disparities in health outcomes require targeted, community-based solutions. Through its work as a non-profit, the African American Wellness Project provides essential services and resources that empower individuals to become informed healthcare consumers. The organization's approach combines education, advocacy, and community engagement to help African American residents in Oakland and surrounding areas take control of their health outcomes. Whether addressing preventive care, chronic disease management, or navigating complex healthcare systems, the African American Wellness Project remains committed to ensuring that African Americans receive equitable treatment and optimal care. The organization's dual focus on wellness education and healthcare system navigation makes it a comprehensive resource for those seeking to improve their health and well-being while confronting institutional barriers to care.
