The Association of Black Women Physicians is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to the improvement of public health and welfare, through the advancement of knowledge concerning women and community health. We endeavor to enhance the personal and professional quality of life of present and future Black women physicians. The Association of Black Women Physicians empowers Black Women to lead in health and wellness for ourselves and the community through premiere educational programs. The organization creates and supports numerous community health and wellness events that continue the tradition and goals set forth by the original charter members.
Sister-to-Sister Mentoring Program: Provides a guided mentorship program for black women physicians, physicians in training and pre-medical undergraduate students. The Wellness Series: Wellness series workshops are organized, implemented and facilitated by physician volunteers. The series is offered in community forums that serve to educate community members on primary prevention services, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and general health and wellness issues. These comprehensive workshops serve as a bridge between the medical establishment and the community by offering healthy eating options, didactic learning sessions, and hands-on involvement. Ultimately, these sessions empower community members to be more active participants in their own health care. Charity & Scholarship Benefit: Historically, our annual fundraising benefit has raised over $700,000 in scholarship funds for medical students demonstrating exceptional academic progress, community involvement, and financial need.
