The Grand Rapids African American Health Institute is now aided by a consultative council intent on growing the nonprofit organization in fighting racial and ethnic health care disparities in West Michigan.
CEO Vanessa Greene formed a group of 17 people to GRAAHI’s newly formed advisory council. The diverse group is drawn from all sectors to tackle deeply rooted issues in the local Black and Latinx communities to achieve healthier outcomes, she said.
The advisory council is chaired by Ken James, director of inclusion for the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, and Leon Hendrix, communications lead for Spectrum Health.
