The AAHP, part of the County’s Department of Health and Human Services

disproportionally affect African Americans and people of African descent
(the target population) in Montgomery County. AAHP’s vision is to ensure
that all African Americans and people of African descent in Montgomery
County are as healthy and safe as the rest of the population. Its mission
is to eliminate health disparities and improve the number of years and
quality of life for the target population in Montgomery County.

AAHP focuses on six major health areas: maternal and infant health;
HIV/AIDS; diabetes; oral health; cardiovascular disease; and cancer. Aging,
faith-based and mental health services are cross-cutting components.
Services provided include outreach, health education, support groups,
referrals, and nurse case management. For more information on AAHP visit
