Coalitions

BACIDHW

The Bay Area Coalition to Increase Diversity in theHealth Workforce combines a common interest amongst advocates and is a coalition of groups working to increase health workforce diversity.

What unites these advocates? In California, an alarming shortage of diversity in the health professions exists. Given the growth of California's minority populations and their corresponding need for culturally and linguistically appropriate health care, this shortage signals a serious threat to the health of communities of color.
