Mission of Brighter Day Health Foundation

The Brighter Day Health Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to address the chronic care needs of vulnerable populations. Chronic diseases such as Diabetes, Obesity, High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease affect everyone but are concentrated among the poor; and often cause a downward spiral of worsening disease and poverty.  Underserved communities and people of color are often more vulnerable due to decreased access to health services.

Did you know:

• The chronic disease burden is concentrated among communities with low-income households.

• Underserved communities are more vulnerable to increased exposure to risks and decreased access to health services.

• Chronic diseases can cause poverty in individuals and families, and draw them into a downward spiral of worsening disease and poverty.

• African Americans have the HIGHEST death rates from heart disease and stroke compared to other races.

• Diabetes is TWICE as prevalent among African Americans than other races.
