Men of color often face grim health statistics. They must cope with obstacles related to education, socioeconomic status, and safety, all of which impact their overall health. African American men are less likely both to get preventive care, and to have access to quality health care when they get sick. This is just one clearly defined factor contributing to the health disparity.
We can create a community that supports a healthy lifestyle for African American men living in Dane County. By hosting culturally specific events and activities, we can reinforce the idea of a healthy life and create a physical environments that promote good health for all.
African American men are less likely to receive preventative care, and they are less likely to have access to quality healthcare when they get sick. We will end this health disparity by hosting outreach events that target chronic health conditions specific to Black men, like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and memory loss.
