Center for the Elimination of Minority Health Disparities
CEMHD is a collaborative effort focusing on minority health disparities in the smaller cities and towns of New York. We work toward eliminating minority health disparities by developing capacity in faculty at the University at Albany and by partnering with community groups to identify community health concerns and sources of disparities, plan strategies to alleviate them, and test their effectiveness.
We've Moved!
In a significant show of support for the Center, the University has built us brand new offices complete with a conference room. We have now moved from the Arts and Sciences building to the stairwell between the Biology and Earth Sciences buildings.
Please stop by!
Our new address is: Center for the Elimination of Minority Health Disparities, ES 0028, University at Albany, Albany NY 12222. Our main phone number remains the same: 518-442-4290, but Dr. Schell has a new one: 518-442-4919.
