The Youngstown Office on Minority Health; the first of its kind in the Mahoning County,was open inside the Youngstown City's Health District in 2008.

Mission Statement: YOMH through collaboration and partnering with local health care stakeholders and community groups promoting awareness, education, advocacy, and support will lead the effort to reduce health care disparities.

Vision Statement: Through capacity building, develop a strategic plan to overcome barriers and gaps to significantly decrease racial and ethnic disparities in Youngstown, Ohio.

Guiding Principle: We strongly endorse health equity as a right - not an oversight - for the minority community. YOMH is addressing these crises as they affect the lives of African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and all other minority ethnic groups.

We work closely with community based organizations, schools, businesses, churches, and all those who affect the lives of people. We will use these steps to serve as an organization addressing any crisis as it affects the health of minorities.

We work to eradicate the problems plaguing the minority community such as: violence, Childhood Obesity, Cancer, Cardio Metabolic Syndrome, Mental Illness, Asthma, and other health issues.
