Why are black people sicker and why do they die earlier, then other racial groups? Many factors likely contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality among black people...It is undeniable, that one of those factors is the care that they receive from their providers. 41% of African Americans have high blood pressure, as compared to 27% of white Americans. Heart disease and stroke are even higher for African Americans than other races. We want to bring awareness to these diseases and the preventative care needed to combat these afflictions. There will organizations with booths supplying covid vaccines, hypertension blood tests and other informational handouts, and pamphlets.
