About Us

In the fall of 2001, a friend of President Ms. Carter, Inc. was misdiagnosed with severe arthritis instead of lupus. She was given the wrong medication and was treated with steroids for lupus immediately. The intense reaction from the drugs caused her to go into a coma with a diagnosis of 12 hours to live. She survived after 14 hours and it took her a year to regain all of her faculties. What was discovered later was that 75% of diagnosed cases of lupus are African American women and 15% are Latino Women. 

Realizing a change was imperative, Ms. Carter left her career as a Corporate Financial Executive to the healthcare industry to provide health information and education to underserved communities.  Ms. Carter knew executives in healthcare that had health information and she knew communities that needed it.  Ms. Carter not only wanted to provide health information, but she also wanted to influence policy that would create systemic change.

Because of Ms. Carter's work with underserved communities, she was invited to serve on health task forces and work with legislators on health policy.  Ms. Carter was invited to provide her diverse community engagement expertise to the Affordable Care Act health task force.  She worked as a liaison between the ethnically diverse communities and the task force.  While working on the ACA and consulting for various health entities Ms. Carter became aware of the necessity to create a platform that would involve health, policy, community, and employers.  The platform resulted in the birth of Health Legal Web later evolving into Diverse Health Information, Inc.  Our programs are reflective of Ms. Carter's vision, commitment, and experience.
