BRIDGING THE GAP TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES

The National Alliance against Disparities in Patient Health (NADPH) is a nonprofit, health research organization applying scientific research and technology, community education and outreach, and advocacy to reduce health disparities and improve public health outcomes for our Nation. NADPH operates through a National partnership ecosystem that spans Government, Academic, Nonprofit, and Industry allies.

 

NADPH’s major objective is to Bridge the Gap in access to advanced, precision-based healthcare in underserved and under-resourced communities. NADPH seeks to do this by providing access to information, subject matter experts, and technology that help community members:

1) raise their awareness and education about the array of factors impacting their quality of health and healthcare;

2) capture, manage, and understand their health information across its various domains, and

3) use this increased knowledge and access more actionably to make better decisions about their health and healthcare.

WE BELIEVE

  1. Good health is fundamental to a high quality life.
  2. Multiple aspects of an individual's environment collectively impact the overall health of that individual.
  3. Health disparities that seemingly only impact a single community have public health and economic impacts that affect all communities, the nation they come from, and ultimately our entire planet.
  4. Multidisciplinary scientific approaches and advanced technologies can be used to improve our understanding of health and delivery of healthcare. 
  5. Raising awareness about health, and providing equitable access to health information and the tools to make it actionable, can reduce health disparities in the communities where they exist.
