Goal and Focus Areas

 

Target Populations

The two largest minority populations in Kentucky are African Americans and Hispanics (Census Data, 2010). Individuals from these two minority groups comprise 23.6% of the total Louisville population, which is slightly lower than the national average of 24.9%, but represents a significant increase from fifteen years ago.

Community Partnership

Our public health program has focused on strengthening partnerships and credibility with community-based organizations providing services to disadvantaged population in Shelby and Jefferson counties. The COEC brings a culturally-appropriate environmental health approach focused on genes, culture, environment and diseases.
