Health Disparities 
The NSU Center of Excellence in Minority Health Disparities is receiving the 2018 Healthy Churches 2020 Best Practice Award at the National Healthy Churches Conference. The conference is sponsored by The Balm in Gilead Inc., which works to build and strengthen the capacity of African-American faith communities in the United States and communities in the United Republic of Tanzania to deliver programs and services that contribute to the elimination of health disparities.

The Center of Excellence in Minority Health Disparities was selected because of its partnership, health outreach and services to African-American faith communities in the region through the Healthy Churches Coalition of Hampton Roads. The Center is housed in the School of Education, Department of Health, Physical Education & Exercise Science. Dr. Cynthia Burwell is the Center’s director. The award will be presented November 15.
