As part of the Institute for eHealth Equity, Our Healthy Community (OHC) is an African-American led company that works directly at the intersection of underserved community outreach and engagement, health information technology adoption, health equity, health literacy improvement, and health disparity reduction.
OHC has partnered with Morehouse School of Medicine to develop OHCEngage, a
geographically-scalable, culturally appropriate web-based collaborative space purpose-built to connect, convene, collaborate, and co-create with both underserved communities, and public/private healthcare stakeholders.
By connecting faith- and community-based organizations locally, regionally, and nationally, we create a support network of organizations that are typically trusted and historically embedded in communities where underrepresented community members live, work, play, pray, and age.
Importantly, our OHCEngage platform allows us to integrate tools and technologies, such as telemedicine solutions, into OHC that will shorten the distance between our community organizations and healthcare payor, provider, government, academic, life science, and pharma stakeholders. This is leveling the playing field. This is health equity in action!
