Breaking Barriers: Advancing Health Equity for African American Seniors in Washington, DC
At Bluerock Care, we take pride in serving the diverse communities of Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. As we honor Black History Month this February, we’re reflecting on the unique challenges and opportunities for advancing health equity among Black seniors in our local community.
Health Challenges of African Americans in Washington, DC
In the DC area, African American seniors often face higher rates of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. Many of these disparities stem from systemic factors like limited access to specialized care, socioeconomic barriers, and historical inequalities in healthcare delivery. Addressing these challenges requires a commitment to patient-centered, senior-focused care—something Bluerock Care is proud to provide.
