At Unity Health Navigators, we lead with trust, honor lived experiences and build upon the strengths that already exist within individuals, families, and communities to improve health and well-being.
We recognize that health disparities affect communities in different ways. UHN addresses the chronic diseases and preventable health conditions that disproportionately impact the communities we serve, including diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and HIV.
Preventive Health screenings serve as a trusted entry point for community engagement. Through services such as blood pressure checks, diabetes screenings, and other basic health assessments, we build relationships that create opportunities for ongoing conversations about health, prevention, and access to care — including HIV education, testing, prevention, and linkage to care.
Guided by data and grounded in trust, we are committed to providing equitable, culturally responsive services that promote prevention, early detection, health education, healthcare navigation, and connection to care for all.
Who We Serve
Unity Health Navigators serves rural and underserved communities by connecting individuals and families to preventive health services, health education, healthcare navigation, and trusted community resources.
Women
Women, particularly Black women, continue to experience significant health disparities and barriers to preventive care. Unity Health Navigators provides education, screening, navigation, and supportive services that empower women to make informed decisions about their health. We are committed to creating safe, compassionate spaces where women feel seen, heard, and connected to care without judgment.
Youth & Young Adults
Young people deserve accurate information, trusted adults, and access to services that support lifelong health and well-being. UHN engages youth and young adults through culturally responsive education focused on healthy relationships, prevention, self-advocacy, and overall wellness. Our goal is to equip young people with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions and navigate healthcare systems successfully.
Rural & Underserved Communities
Many rural and underserved communities face persistent barriers to healthcare, including limited providers, transportation challenges, and longstanding inequities. UHN works to bridge these gaps by bringing health education, preventive services, and care navigation directly into the community. We believe that everyone deserves equitable access to quality care, regardless of where they live.
Black & Brown Communities
Black and Brown communities have been disproportionately impacted by chronic disease, HIV, and other preventable health conditions due to longstanding systemic inequities. UHN partners with communities to advance health equity through trusted relationships, culturally responsive education, and compassionate care navigation. We honor the resilience and strengths of these communities while working to reduce barriers and improve health outcomes.
""Before I can educate, I have to listen. Before I can prevent, I have to understand. I don't enter communities assuming I know what people need—I enter ready to learn from those who live the experience every day. Humanizing care begins with honoring people's stories, and lasting change starts with trust."

and outcomes
Many health programs begin with a specific condition or diagnosis. At Unity Health Navigators, we begin with what communities already know, trust, and value: basic health services such as blood pressure checks, diabetes screenings, BMI assessments, and preventive health education.
These trusted entry points open doors to meaningful relationships and create opportunities for ongoing conversations about health, prevention, and access to care.
As trust grows, so do opportunities to connect individuals and families to the services and support they need — including HIV prevention, testing, and care.
