We need your financial support for Health Legacy of Cleveland Inc.!!!
Give to support minority future physicians, dentists and other health care professionals practicing in the greater Cleveland area.
We look to our community for support now more than ever. Over two years ago, on May 11, 2023, the federal government declared an end to the public health emergency for Covid-19. Looking at the impact that Covid 19 had on minorities, it illuminated what Health Legacy has known for years. Minorities are disproportionately impacted by higher rates of diseases and disorders such asthma, diabetes, cancer and infant mortality. Also, by having these preexisting conditions, minorities are at much greater risk for having bad medical outcomes with Covid-19.
In 2025 Health Legacy is launching a different approach to planning, developing and implementing programs to address the Health Disparities facing minorities in Cleveland, Ohio and beyond.
Also, we are now partnering with Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU) to bring more information about Health Legacy to the Greater Cleveland Community. Again, we need your help so we will be able to support more minority physicians, dentists and other health career professionals to come to Cleveland to help a city that is in a medical crisis.
Our Health Legacy Board has increased our number of board members by 50%. Also, stay tuned to hear more about the HLC’s important upcoming fundraising and community events.
