Health and Human Services

Health and Human Services Facet is our newest addition to our program facet. For the past four years, our initial partnership with the University of California, Davis, related to health disparities, heart health and other high-risk diseases, has evolved into our current Preventing High-risk Diseases (PHD) Program. The mission of the chapter’s program is to reduce heart diseases and other high risk diseases in African American women through education, prevention, lifestyle changes, diet and behavior modification. The success of this program continues to further new research opportunities with UC Davis, enabling additional grant funding and new community partners.
