VNR1 Communications today announced a partnership with the African American Wellness Project (AAWP) to release a nationally syndicated PSA campaign on the health issues that disproportionately affect the Black community. This partnership was formed in response to the healthcare inequities that exist between the African American community and the rest of America, and these PSA’s will highlight healthcare issues that disproportionately affect the African American and other minority communities at a higher prevalence and severity.
Dr. Michael LeNoir, one of the nation’s top Black physicians, AAWP Founder and past president of the National Medical Association, has more than 25 years of broadcast experience and has been educating, inspiring, and advocating for the African American community for more than 5 decades.
