Women, Minorities, and Other Special Populations
Women, minorities, and other special populations bear a disproportional burden of adverse socioeconomic conditions, health disorders, and diseases.
American women are increasingly affected by cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, while HIV and AIDS has a significant impact on women the world over.
African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian Pacific Islanders are susceptible to a disproportionately high incidence of health-related physical and behavioral disorders including infant mortality, cancer, HIV and AIDS, substance abuse, and family violence.
For two decades, MayaTech has supported Federal, state, and local agencies in their efforts to address the needs of persons most impacted by the disparity in access to health services.
