Nebraska Minority Public Health Association

The mission of the Nebraska Minority Public Health Association is to provide leadership that results in a better quality of life for racial/ethnic minorities in Nebraska.

Who We Are:

The Nebraska Minority Public Health Association (NeMPHA) was formed as an outcome of the 1997 Minority Health Conference as a not-for-profit corporation committed to providing leadership that results in a better quality of life for racial/ethnic minorities in Nebraska. To achieve its mission, the NeMPHA works towards the following goals:

Advocacy - To advocate for and solicit funding for the development of effective health promotion and risk reduction strategies and services/programs for racially and ethnically diverse communities.

Empowerment - To empower Nebraska’s racial/ethnic minority communities by strengthening indigenous leadership by ensuring representation in the membership and committees of the Association; sponsoring workshops, forums and conferences; conducting briefing sessions with public officials and the media; and providing technical assistance to providers in their efforts to develop and achieve their goals and conduct fund raising.
