Closing The Racial Health Gap,
One Healthy Habit At A Time
The current racial health gap reveals a stark disparity, with marginalized communities, particularly Black and Indigenous populations, facing significantly higher risks of poor health outcomes compared to their white counterparts. This inequity underscores an urgent need for systemic change to address and dismantle the barriers contributing to these disparities, ensuring equitable access to quality care and resources for all.
​
Balance Period is a wellness and health equity firm on a mission to close the racial health gap. We believe creating systems that produce generational wellness*, at work and at home, will lead to better health outcomes for all communities.
*refers to healthy habits that are passed down and/or exchanged across generations.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Balance Period has helped me realize how much I can control within myself that will directly affect what happens around me. I take a lot more pride in taking time to myself, and establishing what I need to feel whole."
