The Jackson Medical Mall Foundation received $1.6 million from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to assist disadvantaged, low-income minority/females to boost economic and health mobility. The Advancing Health and Wealth Equity Project is designed to integrate economic and health equity by addressing the social, health, and economic deterrence that affects disadvantage/low-income populace of Hinds County.

Participants will also learn how to identify business opportunities, and will receive training on developing, marketing, managing, promoting, and producing a sustainable business.
