Welcome
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Health
Promotion Alliance is a partnership among four HBCU's
and three state agencies in North Carolina. The partners are North
Carolina A&T State University, St. Augustine's
College, Fayetteville
State University and North Carolina Central University along with
North Carolina Office Of Minority Health, the Division of Medical
Assistance and the Office of Rural Health.
The partnership was first created by support from a
Health Care Financing Administration planning grant in 1997. The
mission of this partnership was to identify those factors impacting
access to Medicaid services for African Americans in four counties
and to identify practical solutions to some of the access issues.
The project was supported in 1998-2000 by a grant from the Kate B.
Reynolds Charitable Trust. Fiscal support since that time has been
provided by state contracts and partnering with other projects at
the universities.
As a result of the Kate B. Reynolds Grant,
the HBCU Health Promotion
Alliance (Alliance) has four sites, located in Greensboro on NC A &
T State University’s campus, in Durham on NC Central University’s
campus, in Raleigh on St. Augustine’s College campus and in
Fayetteville on Fayetteville State University’s campus. The main
office for the Alliance is located on the NC A and T State
University campus. This office coordinates partnership activities
with state agencies and supports the Alliance activities that occur
on each of the campuses. The Alliance has continued to provide
services to individuals and training for health and human services
professionals to increase access to health services to the poor and
underserved through partnerships with state agencies and local
organizations.
