About us

Meet the Team

Black Health is built by Black health writers and technologists, working with clinicians and community advocates who understand, from lived experience, that the American health system has too often failed Black patients. Our team brings together editorial independence, clinical expertise, and deep community trust to produce health information you can actually use.

Editorial Team

Black Health editorial is produced by a small desk, not a large masthead. Every piece is researched and written against our editorial standards: primary sources behind every clinical claim, citations readers can check, and clinical review by the Black Health Medical Editorial Board before publication. Work is published under the collective Black Health Editorial team byline.

Questions about a story, a correction, or our process: reach the editorial desk via our contact form.

Operations & Partnerships

Provider listings run through NPI validation against the federal NPPES registry, license checks where state licensure applies, and ongoing review when readers flag an entry. Community partnerships, including our work with HBCUs, community health organizations, and faith communities, run through the same desk: contact us to propose one.

Medical Advisory Board

Our Medical Advisory Board reviews editorial content and clinical accuracy standards. We are actively recruiting licensed Black clinicians across specialties including primary care, OB-GYN, psychiatry, cardiology, and pediatrics. If you are a licensed clinician interested in serving on our advisory board, please contact the medical advisory board via our contact form.
