About US

The Color of Health website seeks to provide much needed health care resources for the ethnically and culturally diverse Louisville, Kentucky community. The concept for the website was brought to reality by Vicki Hines-Martin, PhD, RN Associate Professor at the University of Louisville School of Nursing, when she noticed that there was no central location for African Americans, immigrant families, Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgendered (LGBT) Louisvillians to find health information that is specific to their needs. Information was scattered throughout many national and local websites, making access to health information, and subsequent health choices, very difficult.

The website was just recently redesigned to increase accessibility of information, and is further being used, tested, and improved upon with the input of many community web users. Our goal is to create a portal of health information that is easy and fast to access, culturally sensitive, multilingual, and relevant to the specific needs of our visitors. Help us improve this web-based resource for our community by filling out a survey!
