Desoto MS NAACP Branch #5574

"The mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination."

"NAACP is committed to ending racial health disparities. Our aim is not simply disease prevention, but to create an inclusive culture of healthy people and communities. We collaborate with communities through coordinated action to improve the social determinants of health — racism, poverty, exclusion, inferior schools, unsafe housing, poor nutrition, and toxic environments. "

The Desoto MS Branch is committed to serving our community to help narrow "the health gap" through education, seminars, testing events, and so on.  Every political, sexual, financial, spiritual, educational, parental, and romantic decision we make is tied into our mental and emotional well-being which affects our overall health.  If we can change minds, we can certainly change lives.
