Health Initiatives
Our chapter facilitates, participates and coordinates various activities that promote good health practices. Our annual blood drive is one such activity.
Focuses on promoting physical and mental well-being in community. Programs aim to raise awareness about health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, and mental health, particularly in the African American community. All levels of the fraternity are expected to facilitate, participate in, and coordinate activities that will uplift communities by promoting good health practices. An international committee will coordinate and facilitate multifaceted programs across various chapters and districts.
It is anticipated that all local chapters will execute the health directives at the local level. Some of the programs under the umbrella of Health Initiatives include the Charles Drew Blood Drive (normally held in June), AIDSIV Awareness, and the American Diabetes Association Partnership. This does not prevent local chapters from performing additional health initiatives under the umbrella of the Health Initiatives mandate.
