Greetings Participants, Welcome to the 22nd Annual VillAGE of Many Colors! The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Office of Minority Health in partnership with the Minority Advocacy Coalition (MAC) of Metropolitan St. Louis, provides useful information to improve health outcomes and overall well-being for aging Missourians. Throughout the State of Missouri, our most up to date research still shows that some health disparities exist among minorities in the aging population. Many older minorities experience immense difficulties in obtaining reliable transportation for medical appointments, have greater difficulties decoding instructions for medical prescriptions and frequently misunderstand the terminology used by their healthcare provider to describe their illness. These barriers contribute to the occurrence of health variations within this population. The mission of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Office of Minority Health is to eliminate health disparities through assertive leadership, advocacy support, and visible interaction with minority communities in the State of Missouri. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Office of Minority Health will continue to reduce the occurrence of health disparities among older individuals by partnering with the Minority Advocacy Coalition of Metropolitan St. Louis as well as other organizations, and supporting the VillAGE of Many Colors. Sincerely,
Joseph Palm, MPH Chief, Office of Minority Health

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will be the leader in promoting, protecting and partnering for health. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER: Services provided on a nondiscriminatory basis.

MINORITY ADVOCACY COALITION
Our History The St. Louis Minority Advocacy Coalition (MAC), a collaborative group of aging and health service providers, has been in existence since 1997. The model for this organization originated 20 years ago, when St. Louis County Older Resident Programs (CORP) realized that its services were not being utilized in (at that time mostly African American) minority older adult communities. As you probably already know, some minorities and cultural groups have little trust of government and other assistance programs due to past transgressions, false promises and just a basic lack of understanding of the culture, (lack of cultural competency). CORP recruited agencies and members of the community to sit on an advisory committee to offer suggestions and/or participate in neighborhood activities to increase awareness of services being offered. What we did not realize or think about at the time is that other agencies were facing the same challenges that we were facing in terms of outreach. Fast forward to 1996, when a group of aging and health providers met to network, share information and discuss ways to address issues in the older adult communities. This group, called the Breakthrough Coalition, formed various subcommittees, but when the idea of minority outreach was broached, they found that a group was already in existence, so why reinvent the wheel? Thus, began the partnership that exists today between St. Louis City and County agencies. The St. Louis Minority Advocacy Coalition is currently comprised of St. Louis County Human Services, CORP, Mid-East Area Agency on Aging, St. Louis Area Agency on Aging, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, International Institute, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, Peace Weaving Wholeness, Lutheran Senior Services, St. Louis City and County Departments of Health, and a host of “community liaisons.” Community liaisons assist with a variety of tasks: attend meetings and provide information, provide input, make presentations about various cultures to Minority Advocacy Coalition, help with translations, assist with disseminating information, and assist with planning and implementation. Minority Advocacy Coalition’s priority is to have representation from various ethnicities in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. MAC has collaborated with many ethnicities as planners, participants, volunteers and performers. Our projects have included African, Chinese, Hispanic, Eastern Indian, Vietnamese and many others cultures. As of July 2017, Minority Advocacy Coalition (MAC) was approved by the IRS as a 501c3 nonprofit organization, however there was a name change to Minority Advocacy Coalition (MAC) of Metropolitan St. Louis.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Minority Advocacy Coalition (MAC) of Metropolitan St. Louis is an advocacy group with a vision to develop outreach strategies and educational programs for all older adults with our targeted population being ethnic and minority older adults of the metropolitan region.
