African American Women's Health Legacy

AAWHL's mission is to help African American women reduce Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity through education and awareness. 

The African American female population of Sacramento, California is only 8% of the total population, but 15% of those women have been diagnosed with Type two diabetes and other chronic diseases.  In 2015, the California State Senate passed a Resolution dedicating August as African American Women's Health Legacy month.
