“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

At , we believe health equity is not aspirational—it is essential. Since 2018, our work has focused on expanding access, mentorship, and representation for students pursuing careers in medicine and STEM.

This mission comes to life at the ONE VOICE Speaker Forum—a purpose-driven luncheon that creates space for dialogue, leadership, and advocacy while directly supporting student scholarships.

Health justice is the work.
And the work is now.

🩺 National HIV Testing Day is June 27❗️
At Color of Medicine, we believe that health equity begins with access, awareness, and action. ✊🏽

Far too often, Black and brown communities are left out of the conversation — but we’re here to change that.
HIV testing isn’t just a medical tool — it’s a form of empowerment. 💪🏾💉

Whether it’s your first time or part of your routine care — knowing your status is an act of power, protection, and self-love. ❤️

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ HIV testing is quick, free, and confidential
✅ Available at local clinics, community centers, and health departments
✅ Recommended at least once for everyone aged 13–64

Let’s end the stigma. Let’s normalize routine testing.
Let’s protect us.
