1956年至1967年间，全国有色人种协进会法律的辩护和教育基金会提起的一系列诉讼案件为消除医院和专业协会中的公开歧视奠定了基础。Cone Memorial Hospital（1963年）质疑使用公共资金扩大隔离医院护理。1967年的第二个案例是Cypress诉Newport News医院协会案（英语：Cypress v Newport News Hospital Association，1967），该案例重申了联邦政府对医疗保险认证指导方针的应用，以迫使医院向所有公民和医生开放患者入院、教育计划和员工特权。
A series of court cases litigated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense and Education Fund between 1956 and 1967 laid the foundation for elimination of overt discrimination in hospitals and professional associations.The landmark case, Simkins v Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital (1963), challenged the use of public funds to expand segregated hospital care. The second case, Cypress v Newport News Hospital Association (1967), reaffirmed the federal government's application of Medicare certification guidelines to force hospitals to open up patient admissions, education programs, and staff privileges to all citizens and physicians.Pursuit of a legal strategy against racist policies was an essential element in a national campaign to eliminate discrimination in health care delivery in the United States.
