Health and wellness are a vital component of a thriving community. The purpose of the 100’s Health & Wellness program is to raise the awareness levels concerning healthcare issues in the African American community.
To achieve such awareness, the 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, DC partners with various organizations to promote a variety of health and wellness issues such as health screenings, drug and HIV/AIDS prevention, teen pregnancy prevention, Diabetes and Prostate Cancer awareness.
Targeted health issues for the 100 also include physical exercise, nutrition and childhood obesity, which are all significant to the overall health and wellness of families and communities.
