Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health

Industry:	Hospitals & Clinics
Employees:	5

Description

Arthur Ashe founded the Institute in 1992, just two months prior to his death from AIDS, in response to the disproportionate amount of illness and death in urban communities from preventable diseases. Arthur knew that many of these diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, are the result of inadequate health care delivery, late detection, and insufficient health education. The Institute is a national tax-exempt charity headquartered in Brooklyn, NY and their innovative community health education and research initiatives serve as models for replication in urban communities throughout the nation.
