Why a health directory?

Lest we forget: The NEGRO MOTORIST GREEN BOOK was created by Victor Hugo Green. The GREEN BOOK was a travel directory for and by African Americans. It was published from 1936 to 1966 during a time when wide spread discrimination against black persons made driving and inter-state travel hazardous. It provided wary travelers with vital information to help them to avoid unfriendly rest stops and to navigate dangerous roads.

Similar to the GREEN BOOK of our past, this directory provides vital information about available resources to help persons navigate our current health care system.

The goal of THE BLACK WOMAN’S HEALTH DIRECTORY is to eliminate health care disparities, to increase access to healthcare and to emphasize the importance of healthcare for all.
