Mid-Atlantic Center for Cardiometabolic Health Equity

The overarching goal of the Mid-Atlantic Center for Cardiometabolic Health Equity (MACCHE) is to test the effectiveness of comprehensive, integrated, and multi-level evidence-based strategies for improving cardiometabolic health outcomes among socially disadvantaged populations in Maryland, using community-based participatory research and patient-centered outcomes research principles, and translate them into clinical and public health practice and policy. The MACCHE will leverage the existing infrastructure of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, which has applied a comprehensive approach to health equity for over 10 years, a partnership with the University of Maryland Baltimore, and collaborations with Morgan State University and other institutions in the region.
