About us
BDO is the world’s largest and most comprehensive online health resource specifically targeted to African Americans. As much as we’d love for healthcare to be one-size-fits-all, the reality is that this is not the case – today’s Black community has higher incidences of just about every major disease and condition out there, as well as shorter life spans. BDO understands that the uniqueness of Black culture - our heritage and our traditions - plays a role in our health. We also understand that there's a lot of mistrust of the healthcare system. That mistrust, combined with all the contradictory information in the media today, makes it difficult to truly feel in control of your health, and your life. But BDO gives you access to innovative new approaches to the health information you need in everyday language – so you can break through the disparities, gain control and live your life to its fullest. Guided by the leading physicians, BDO provides essential, but difficult to find, health resources for you and your family, including free referrals to the top Black physicians and health articles that focus on both culturally accurate content, as well as general health topics (yes, Blacks suffer from conditions like diabetes more, but they can break an arm, too). Let us help you see how good it feels to be in control of living a healthier, happier life!

I helped BlackDoctor.org launch Generational Health, a five-year movement to redefine the blueprint of longevity, at the APHA - American Public Health Association conference in Washington, DC. For too long, narratives around health have been centered on disparities rather than possibilities. BlackDoctor is an engine for transformative change, and they are rewriting that story. Generational Health is about transforming health from an individual goal into a shared inheritance. As a ZERO Prostate Cancer Global Ambassador, this movement aligns with ZERO’s bold “Blitz The Barriers” initiative to save 100,000 lives by 2035. Patients, doctors, advocates and public health working together — that’s what I call a winning combination. Check out this story: https://lnkd.in/gbyEdbEr

Yesterday marks the beginning of something historic. BlackDoctor proudly launched #GenerationalHealth — a bold, five-year movement redefining the blueprint for longevity, unveiled at the American Public Health Association conference in DC. Generational Health is about healing across generations and possibilities — passing down habits of health, hope, knowledge of traits and longevity. This movement opens new pathways for historically-excluded students to enter healthcare professions. Thank you to our panelists, moderators: Mathew Knowles Dr. Okey K.

Thank you Chicago Tribune for publishing BlackDoctor's op-ed on 340B. We appreciate the opportunity to call on members of the Illinois legislature to pause the 340B bill and, instead, focus on advocating for federal reforms that prioritize patients over profits. Thank you for the collaboration Dr. Sharon D. Allison. #340B #PatientsoverProfits #Unpacking340Btransparency
