REACH 2010 Community Profiles

From 1999-2007, CDC funded 40 REACH 2010 communities throughout the United States that focused on innovative strategies to eliminate health disparities. Through effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of community-driven strategies the REACH 2010 communities played a major role in reducing disparities in six health priority areas: breast and cervical cancer screening and management, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, immunizations, HIV/AIDS, and infant mortality. The funded communities also focused on closing the health disparity gap in at least one of the following racial and ethnic minority groups: African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, or Hispanics/Latinos. Many of the REACH 2010 communities chose to target more than one health priority area and/or more than one racial/ethnic group.
