About Philadelphia Black Women's Health Alliance

The Philadelphia Black Women's Health Alliance (PBWHA) is a comprehensive health advocacy and education organization dedicated to serving women of color and their families throughout Philadelphia, PA. For over 40 years, PBWHA has delivered evidence-based programs and support services addressing the unique health needs of African American women, girls, and their communities. The organization operates multiple specialized programs designed to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities across diverse age groups and life stages. Their Women and Families programs focus on physical, mental, and spiritual wellness while addressing social determinants of health, including the Prime Time Sister Circle, Millennial Sister Circle, Gambling Away the Golden Years, and the Parenting Leadership Program. For teens and children, PBWHA provides activities and evidence-based interventions promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including the Safe Dates program and Girls Circle. The organization also integrates harm reduction as a complementary tool, meeting individuals where they are with non-judgmental, supportive pathways to better health. PBWHA's work extends to institutional partnerships and strategic collaborations aimed at integrating awareness, education, and partnerships across Philadelphia's health ecosystem. With a team of trained facilitators, subject matter experts, and dedicated staff, the organization combines professional expertise with community-centered approaches to create lasting health improvements.
