The free event features the 5K walk and a variety of health screenings, including blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, HIV, STD/STI and prostate cancer.
The African American Male Wellness Walk is Saturday, Aug. 19, at Wade Oval, located at 10820 East Blvd.
The National African American Male Wellness Initiative is celebrating its 20th anniversary. It was created to encourage men to be proactive in terms of their health, help them live longer and close the health equity gap. The President of the African American Male Wellness Agency, Kenny Hampton, appeared on Good Morning Cleveland Sunday morning.
“For 20 years, we've been able to screen hundreds of thousands of men across this country who have walked around not knowing what's going inside their bodies," Hampton said."But at our events, they learn their numbers, and they're able to make some changes if needed for them to live longer. We know more about what’s going on inside of our vehicles than what’s going on inside of our bodies. And we’re wanting to change that."“We’re the clinic to the community.
