PAHE serves as a resource for information on racial and cultural health care
disparities and health inequities. We are dedicated to decreasing disparities
in health outcomes and the improvement of health care; to highlighting and
discussing the role of bias and stereotyping in unequal treatment of patients;
and to developing strategies to increase awareness and

councils, board members, staff, partner organizations, other leaders, and
