Oklahoma REACH 2010 Project
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health

REACH 2010 Initiative
In his radio address on February 21st, 1998, President Clinton committed the Nation to an ambitious goal by the year 2010: eliminate the disparities in six areas of health status experienced by racial and ethnic minority populations while continuing the progress we have made in improving the overall health of the American people.

Oklahoma REACH 2010 - Native American initiative to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.  A steering committee of eight Indian Tribes/Nations, one Urban Indian Health Center and the Oklahoma State Department of Health was formed to address the growing issues of diabetes and cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity among American Indian population in Oklahoma.
