WASHINGTON, May 13, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- DiscoverU Health, a pioneering concierge medicine
practice led by a commitment to minority health, is thrilled to
announce the launch of its newest initiative, "Bridging Health
Equity by 2025 - A Call to Minority Businesses". This campaign
seeks to empower minority business owners in the D.C.,
Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area through enhanced access to
healthcare services, promoting both economic vitality and community
health.
DiscoverU Health, founded in 2018 by Pamgrace Gachenge, is
driven by a profound connection to the community's heart
and soul. Inspired by the founder's late mother,
Cecily, who was both a dedicated nurse and a vibrant
entrepreneur, DiscoverU Health embodies her spirit of tireless
service and entrepreneurial zeal. Cecily's legacy
illustrates the vital intersection of economic pursuit and health,
highlighting the often-overlooked health sacrifices made by
minority entrepreneurs.
"Our initiative recognizes the dual importance of this month,
celebrating both National Women's Health Week and Small Business
Month," said Pamgrace Gachenge, Founder of DiscoverU
Health. "It's about honoring the legacy of those like my
mother, who have paved the way for minority entrepreneurs and
healthcare professionals alike."
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, minority
entrepreneurs generate nearly $2
trillion in revenue annually, employing nearly half of the
U.S. workforce and generating two-thirds of new jobs. Despite their
critical contributions to the economy, these entrepreneurs face
significant barriers, including disparities in healthcare access
and economic opportunities. The "Bridging Health Equity by
2025" campaign aims to address these challenges by partnering
with 500 minority-owned businesses in the DMV area to serve 50,000
employees and residents.
"We stand at a crucial juncture where healthcare and economic
empowerment intersect. By providing comprehensive health
solutions to minority business owners, we not only foster
a healthier community but also ignite a broader social
change," added Pamgrace Gachenge.
Minority-owned businesses, recently recognized as "emerging
majority businesses," are a burgeoning force in the U.S.
economy. Latinos, Asian Americans, and African Americans are at the
forefront of this entrepreneurial wave, with African American women
notably leading in business creation growth.
Join DiscoverU Health in its mission to create healthier
communities and enhance economic opportunities for minority
business owners. Sign up today and be part of a movement towards a
more equitable future.
