Angelicah Ministries is a true faith base leader in health education and fighting health and social disparities in the state of Massachusetts and have received many awards from the American Heart Association and the American Stroke association as recent as last year 2009 for the work of saving lives from the troubles of Stroke. Angelicah Ministries was started in 2006 by Mr. Dalton Skerritt the Musical director Cornerstone Deliverance Ministries choir and has since addressed many social issues such as lack of health insurance, housing, jobs and quality healthcare in the urban towns of Boston.
We have reached over 20,000 people with our events and power to end stroke campaign within the hard to reach Boston locations densely populated by African Americans, Blacks from Africa and the Caribbean, Latino and Hispanic population. These populations were never engaged until Angelicah Ministries utilized its innovative approach of Gospel Music and strategic alliance of Health Centers, Schools, Churches, Barbershops, interaction with Soccer events, Cricket, football, basket ball, health education and screenings and Live Gospel Music performances.
We became involved in presentations around health awareness in the Boston community to improve health care and to make health insurance more accessible to people who were suffering with Diabetes, Hypertension, Stroke and heart disease at the grassroots level. This was accomplished on very little funding and being resourceful. We utilize all free training available through the Boston Public Health Commission and the Department of Public Health for our volunteers (CHE) Community Health Educators.
This has led to a new community leader: CEHSID Center for the Elimination of Health and Social Inequities and Disparities
