EXPERIENCED TEAM

Each of us is a passionate expert on our topics of interest. We bring ambition, innovating thinking, and a creative vision for every project we dedicate our minds to.

CHANGEMAKERS

Current Census categories prevent us from collecting data on the health of Arab Americans. Our work reflects a growing urgency to bring the needs of America's Arab community to the surface.

VISIONARIES OF THE FUTURE

By launching the first national study on Arab American health, our mission is to capture, understand, and improve health disparities for the Arab community in the United States.
