Health & Wellness

Health & Wellness is a vital component of a thriving community. We are concerned about the well being of the whole community and the whole person: physical, emotional/psychological, and spiritual. Our initiatives will be aligned with three objectives:

  • Increasing public awareness regarding health issues which disproportionately impact the black community
  • Increase awareness and expand knowledge among black people regarding current research, therapies and practices which have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of illnesses that disproportionately affect black people
  • Help shape public policy regarding the local and state health policy impacting the black community. The “100” teams up with other non-profit and private organizations to promote preventative health strategies, deliver screenings and provide education on prevalent diseases.
