Multicultural Health Institute (MHI) Improving health & wellness issues & reducing health disparities

In the mid-nineties, Dr. Lisa Merritt was working as a physician with a patient roster that was racially and ethnically diverse. She observed major differences in the rates of certain diseases and treatment of people from certain racial and socio-economic subgroups under her care. In order to help resolve some of those differences, Dr. Merritt founded the Multicultural Health Institute in 1995 in

Sacramento, California. She recruited a group of doctors and community advocates to work with the Institute to initiate programs and authored a number of papers for medical journals focused on treatment and patient care. The Advocacy work that began in California by the original staff and directors of MHI expanded to service Atlanta, Georgia in 2000. MHI relocated its headquarters to Sarasota, Florida in 2006, where it continues to support government entities, non-profit organizations and community based initiatives through its programs and research.
