In 2002, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued a decisive report confirming that the quality of health care provided to racial and ethnic minorities is lower than the quality of health care given to non-minorities, even after adjustments have been made to account for socioeconomic differences and other factors related to access to health care.

IOM’s recommendations for reducing racial and ethnicity-based disparities in health care include increasing awareness about these disparities among the general public, health care providers, insurance companies and policymakers.

The report, which was widely praised by individuals and organizations that share IAMMM’s mission, is further proof of the need for organizations like IAMMM that are committed to addressing inequality in health care.

IAMMM is a 501 (c) (3) organization that was established to provide a focused and integrated voice to confront and address ethnic and racial health disparities. One of its greatest strengths is the ability to bring diverse organizations together to make a positive impact on minority health.

TheMission

of the Institute


IAMMM’s mission is to work with partners and alliances

to eliminate disparities in health and healthcare among

underrepresented and underserved multi-cultural com-

munities through research, education, and advocacy.

The Board of Directors



AMessagefrom the

Chair

It is a privilege to serve as chair of the board of directors of the Institute for the Advancement of Multicultural & Minority Medicine (IAMMM). During 2003-2005, IAMMM clearly defined its mission; solidified its infrastructure; increased visibil-ity; and, perhaps most important, established key partnerships with health professionals and other health care providers, corporations, community organizations, consumer advocates, lawmakers and others.

In addition to targeting disparities in health and health care, IAMMM worked to improve minority representation in the health care professions and to develop, implement and support educational and training programs for medical profession-als already working in the field. We have built a strong network of historically black colleges and universities and their re-spective medical schools, as well as individual physicians and health care providers to help us accomplish these objectives.

These programs and initiatives are all part of IAMMM’s strategy for long-term success as it takes the lead in the fight to eliminate disparities in health and health care. Although the overall health of the nation has improved, statistics continually show that people of color continue to be disproportionately affected by chronic diseases, have inadequate access to health care, and have shorter life spans in comparison to whites. Our motto, Elimination Through Collaboration, is the most effective way to work to close these gaps. By developing partnerships across racial lines and professional disciplines, we will reach our goal to eliminate disparities. Also, it will enable us to raise awareness, educate communities, and improve health care outcomes and the quality of care given to minority and other underserved communities. Collaborating with national health and consumer organizations and others enables us to reach the greatest number of people.

We have created a tiered approach that begins with strengthening linkages between key groups: policy makers, journalists, health care professionals and community leaders. It is important to initiate an ongoing dialogue between communities, health care professionals and legislators. Lawmakers play a significant role in shaping policy, such as the Medicare Part D program, that are then implemented by health professionals and impact millions of people. IAMMM’s role is to translate policy and research findings into action by developing initiatives that are culturally and linguistically appropriate.

As we move forward, we want to solicit your support of and participation in all of our innovative initiatives, such as our Scholars in Residence program that will take important information for dealing with health care disparities taught by the best experts to at least three cities next year; the establishment of our Collaborative Partners Council (CPC), which will al-low IAMMM to interact with dozens of corporations and organizations regarding issues of diversity, cultural competence, and health care; and programs involved with improving health care for minority men.

We have accomplished a great deal, but in some ways our work has just begun. We look forward to expanding our partner-ships and work across communities until our mission is accomplished. We can only do this if you give us your commitment and your help.

Sincerely,

Richard Allen Williams, MD

We are proud to issue the first Annual report for IAMMM for the period 2003-2005. IAMMM’s first three years have been a period of growth during which the board of directors and the staff have worked to lay a solid foundation that will enable our organization to assume a strategic role in the fight to address and confront health disparities among ethnic and racial minorities. One of IAMMM’s great strengths is the manner in which we form collaborations and partnerships with a diverse group of organizations. These organizations assist in accomplishing both our mission and our vision and positively impact the quality of health care provided to our target demographic. Throughout 2003-2005, IAMMM partnered with both major corporations and community-based organizations--such as GlaxoSmithKline, Anheuser-Busch, the National Council of Negro Women, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Research Association (PhRMA), the American Heart Association, the Student National Medical Association, and others--to increase awareness in communities, board rooms, physicians’ offices and halls of justice all across the nation. These critical partnerships enabled us to spread the word about the importance of prostate and other health screenings; the disproportionate diagnosis of heart disease in women; HIV and AIDS among teens; and other issues that will encourage minorities to begin taking more responsibility for their health. We are particularly proud of our efforts to educate seniors about the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act and how they can take advantage of this landmark legislation. To achieve our mission, it is important that IAMMM board and staff meet regularly with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to keep them abreast of how the policies they shape impact both access and care. We have conducted briefings for senators and representatives and their health policy staffs; and hosted congressional leadership dinner briefings on health disparities. IAMMM also participated in summits on health disparities hosted by Senator Frist; The National African American Leadership Conference hosted by Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) and Rick Santorum (R-Penn.), and Congressional Black Caucus

Foundation Legislative Weekend and Health Braintrust hosted by Congresswoman Donna M. Christensen (D-VI). Consumer health education and awareness is a priority. For that reason, IAMMM conducted five health summits and town hall meetings in Houston, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, New York, and Atlanta, which enabled health care providers and consumers to exchange information and concerns. These summits were extremely well received by all participants—from physicians, who gained some insight into the obstacles their patients frequently must overcome to access adequate health care services, to the patients, who received advice about how to empower themselves to ensure that regardless of their circumstances, they are able to access the quality care they deserve. For two consecutive years, IAMMM hosted two awards benefit galas to honor a diverse group of people who have reached the height of professional success but also have experienced the terrible lows of chronic or debilitating diseases and live to share their stories with others in hopes of saving lives. “Saluting Survivors…Promoting Life” aims to create greater awareness of the need for preventive screenings and quality health care, increase exposure of IAMMM’s mission and objectives, and engage our strategic partners in an evening of celebration and awareness.

IAMMM is grateful for the enthusiastic support we have received from individual donors and corporations. We also are extremely appreciative of the members of our board of directors who take time from their busy professional lives to provide tremendous voluntary service and sound leadership. We look forward to expanding our network of partners with the launch of our Collaborative Partners Council; strengthening the ties between health disparity organizations; and expanding our services to the public.

AMessage from the Executive

Vice President

M a d e l i n e Y. L a w s o n



The Institute for the Advancement of Multicultural & Minority Medicine has created three centers to

provide valuable information, resources and support for health care professionals and advocates. These

centers, which are one component of IAMMM’s long-term growth strategy, also produce programs and

campaigns that further its mission.

The Center for Health Policy aims to positively influence state and local public policies that address

and prevent health care disparities among underserved racial and ethnic populations. It monitors and

promotes policies, programs, and legislation that provide increased access and resources to individuals

affected by disparities. In addition, IAMMM board and staff meet regularly with members of the U.S.

Congress to ensure they are kept abreast of important issues.

The Center for Community Outreach and Education creates, endorses, and links partnerships with

local and national health programs for effective grassroots prevention efforts. It also disseminates

information regarding health disparities and disparity-related diseases to the general public through

activities, such as public education campaigns, health summits, and provides educational workshops for

physicians and other health professionals.

The Center for Research and Clinical Trials creates, conducts, and promotes research on health

disparities found in racial and ethnic populations and other issues related to the prevalence of health

disparities and their impact on public health. It serves as a resource for health professionals of color by

developing and monitoring health status databases on minority health. In addition, the center develops

and promotes programs to increase the participation of minorities in clinical and scientific research.

IAMMMat Work

There are several individuals and organizations across the nation that are dedicated to the task of narrowing

the gap in the quality of health of underserved populations and providing access to much-needed preventive

care and medical treatment. No one organization can achieve these monumental goals alone, however.

Innovative collaborations that motivate and empower communities to take charge of their health and improve

communication between health professionals and patients are big steps toward eliminating disparities.

In 2003-2005, IAMMM consistently implemented its motto—Elimination Through Collaboration—through

a variety of educational programs, public awareness campaigns and collaborations with community and

consumer organizations. IAMMM’s willingness and ability to develop critical partnerships ensures that

everyone—from patient to health care professional—is fully aware of the impact health disparities have on

our communities and what they can do to help eliminate this persistent problem.

IAMMM partnered with Anheuser-Busch, Inc., the National Council of Negro Women, and Coalition of 100 Black Men of America on a national media campaign to raise awareness among African Americans about prostate cancer. “Set the Date” was created to encourage African-American men, who have the highest incidence of the disease, to become informed and get tested. A unique aspect of the campaign is that its primary target was African-American women because they have the greatest influence on their male relatives and friends with respect to getting them to participate in healthy behaviors. Women are the true “screening ambassadors” and will encourage the male loved ones in their lives to get tested or even schedule this potentially life-saving exam for them.

In 2004 and 2005, IAMMM convened health summits in Houston, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, New York, and Atlanta that actively engaged health care providers and health consumers in the issues that are most important to their respective communities. To highlight the ongoing message about the importance of preventive care, health screenings were provided at each site. Panelists included professionals from diverse medical specialties, community activists and representatives from public service organizations and the private sector. Town hall meetings provided forums in which local residents could share concerns, get answers to important questions and form alliances to tackle common goals. Each summit provided invaluable insights into the health care needs of its community and demonstrated ways in which local organizations are addressing them. One very positive outcome was that both the participating individuals and the organizations realized the value of collaborating with each other, which will enable them to leverage their resources and increase their impact locally.

The goals of the summits were to: • Design a model on health care provider and consumer empowerment

partnerships for improved health among racial and ethnic groups. • Develop a partnership model and manual to be shared with national

organizations. • Define and prepare the model to implement at a national summit. • Prepare options for action monographs that will be disseminated in

print and on electronic media and Web sites. • Develop a sign-on campaign to market use of the model among health

professionals and civic and community organizations.

Developing and implementing education and training programs that help physicians

improve both health care delivery and their interactions with patients are major IAMMM

objectives. One way the Institute works to achieve them is by sponsoring panels that focus

on specific issues or trends and increase awareness about health disparities. These panels

also help enrich the quality of care physicians provide by teaching them how to become

more culturally competent.

In 2004-2005, IAMMM sponsored presentations at several state medical meetings. At the

Arkansas State Medical, Dental and Pharmacy Association Meeting, Juanita Archer, MD, gave

a presentation entitled “Diabetes and Disparities–What’s Happening in Your Neighborhood.”

Robert Williams, MD and Glenda Hodges, Ph.D, JD, M. Div., led a panel entitled “End of

Life Care Certification Training for African American Health Professionals” for the Arkansas

Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Association; Louisiana Medical Association; and the

Georgia State Medical Association. Dr. Rahn Bailey, a psychiatrist, delivered a presentation

entitled “Diabetes and Mental Health” at the Old North State Medical Society meeting.

In December 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act to provide seniors and people living with disabilities more choices and better benefits. To alleviate their concerns and educate them on the benefits of this pivotal legislation, the Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers Association (PhRMA) awarded a grant to IAMMM in May 2004 to launch a national campaign, entitled “Do You Have a Discount Card?” In addition to providing information about the Medicare-Approved Prescription Discount Card, the campaign also sought to enroll seniors in the program.

IAMMM partnered with the National Black Nurses Association, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Prince Hall Masons, North Texas Business and Professional Women’s League, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and a host of state and local organizations to implement this project, enabling the Institute to reach hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country.

In December 2005, IAMMM hosted a Medicare Part D Symposium in collaboration with Medicare Rx Access Network of Washington, DC. The program included a discussion led by Garth Graham, MD, MPH, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, Office of Minority Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; an overview of the Medicare Part D enrollment process; strategies in effective outreach, education and enrollment; and a question and answer period. Presentations were made by Nona Bear, health care reform advocate and champion of seniors’ issues; Denesecia P. Green, a senior health insurance specialist for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; and Daniel Wilson, director of policy and development for the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc. Participants included representatives from Blacks in Government, Cuban-American National Council, Mental Health Association of the District of Columbia, National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc.

The symposium provided much-needed information to organizations such as the Washington Free Clinic, the Mental Health Association of Washington, DC, Senior Citizens Counseling and Delivery Services, and others that have been charged with training clinicians and ensuring that all of their eligible constituents, who are among the nation’s most vulnerable citizens, have all of the information they need to take complete advantage of Medicare Part D program.

IAMMM recognizes the importance of ongoing communication and the exchange of ideas and information with the nation’s lawmakers who play a critical role in shaping health policy. In addition to conducting an ongoing dialogue with congressional staff about IAMMM’s programs and initiatives, the Institute participated in specific briefings and conferences such as:

• A briefing of Congressman Ralph Regula (R-Ohio)

• A briefing of the health policy staff from the offices of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), Congressman Mike Honda (D-Calif.), and Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas)

• A Congressional Leadership Dinner Briefing on Health Disparities included then-Congressman Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Congressman Mel Watt (D-N.C.) Congresswoman Donna Christensen (Delegate-U.S. Virgin Islands); and Michael Painter, MD (representing Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn.))

• Participation in a Summit on Health Disparities hosted by Senator Frist

• Participation in a National African American Leadership Conference hosted by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.)

On September 7, 2004 and September 20, 2005, IAMMM held awards benefit galas to salute individuals who have battled and survived chronic diseases and then taken the extraordinarily generous step of sharing their stories to educate others. Each honoree was presented with an Eagle Fly Free award. “The Eagle Fly Free award is a great tribute to the courage of individuals to overcome their bouts of personal illness, but more important, is a symbol to other people that you, too, can overcome illness; and you, too, can serve as a symbol for others to take personal responsibility and accountability for your health and others” said IAMMM board member, Stan Hull, a senior vice president at GlaxoSmithKline.

As host of the gala, IAMMM aims to create greater awareness of the need for quality health care, using survivors as spokespeople; increase exposure of IAMMM’s mission and objectives; and to engage its strategic partners in an evening of celebration and courage.

All of the honorees are true exemplars who have made significant contributions in the wide range of professions that they represent. Each knows first-hand that disease does not discriminate based on gender, race, religion or economic status. And although illness is intensely personal, they were honored to share their experiences because each time they tell their stories, they are potentially saving a life.

Many of the men were survivors of prostate cancer. Dr. Ben Carson had not been getting tested regularly, but as a physician, he recognized the warning signs and caught the disease in time. Rabbi Frederic Margulies, on the other hand, was getting tested regularly and that is what saved his life because even up until the day of his surgery, he had not exhibited any signs. Senator Edward Brooke overcame a struggle with breast cancer, a disease most men think is unimaginable for them to get. As he said in his remarks, “If you have breast tissue, you can get breast cancer,” and encouraged all males to cast aside their egos and check themselves regularly for lumps.

“I am a three-time cancer survivor. Each time, by the grace of God, early detection and remedy, I’ve had good outcomes. As a nurse by educational preparation and professional background, I know the importance of early detection. Ultimately, it means a better chance at a longer life and perhaps a better quality of life,” said Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.). “I applaud IAMMM for being one of the many to lead the charge in promoting equal opportunities in health for all. Everyone must

have the same opportunity to receive quality health care, prevention and treatment.”

Getting regular check-ups, recognizing signals and spreading the word to others about the importance of testing and early detection are all keys to survival and were the overarching themes of both events. “We, as a nation must [work to] improve research, increase sensitivity to minorities among health care providers and increase access to the right information,” said honoree Earl G. Graves, chairman and CEO of Earl G. Graves Ltd., and publisher of Black Enterprise magazine. “African-American men owe it to themselves and their loved ones to understand the preventive measures we can take and pursue treatment options as needed. Prostate cancer can be treated if it’s caught early. If I can help even one person take action to prevent this disease or to detect it earlier, this experience [will have been] worthwhile.”

“Each one of us has had a moment of truth when we’ve come face to face with our own mortality,” mused Dennis Hightower in his remarks. He had assumed that his own moment had passed during a stint in the Army, but 27 years later, that hypothesis was challenged to the core when his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Despite the best of care, he did not survive. Hightower had been undergoing regular screenings, and began getting them every six months following his father’s diagnosis.

Until February 2000, his results were barely recordable, but within six months, they were alarming enough to require an aggressive course of action. Still, Hightower recalls, he allowed other things to take greater precedence. “I had a business to run, investors to satisfy, employees counting on my leadership. My doctor said, ‘This is your life but if you want to be here six months later, you need to make some critical decisions in the next 30 days’.” He did. Now, Hightower says, he is a “poster boy” for screening, encouraging anyone who will listen to take the test.

The annual gala is also a fundraising event to support health education, outreach, health screenings and referrals for minorities and other underserved populations. Major sponsors included GlaxoSmithKline, PhRMA, Abbott Laboratories, Inc., Altria Corporate Services, Inc., Anheuser-Busch-Inc, and the DaimlerChrysler Corporation. Pfizer, Howard University, The Coca-Cola Company, NitroMed, Guidant and the National Minority Health Month Foundation also generously provided support.
