Black Health is important for hosting the annual Spring Summit and Expo
Black health matters organizes its annual Black Health Matters Spring Health Summit and Expo in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, April 13. The one-day event will include free preventive examinations, panels and workshops with health and fitness professionals. The summit might be hosted by an actor Laman Rucker and meteorologist and television personality Jessica Faith of NBC 4 Washington.
Panelists will include industry leaders akin to Dr. Margaret Alabi, pharmacist and founding father of Pivot Consulting Group; and Dr. JaBari D. Swain, cardiac surgeon and scientist; and Dr. Kemi Osundina. Fitness instructor DaShaun Johnson, aka “The Ab Guru,” will lead the afternoon workout session.
“As the Black community continues to grapple with health care disparities, Black Health Matters is proud to educate and encourage our community to be more mindful of their health and their approach to food, diet and exercise, while reaching audiences who otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to engage with so many medical professionals” – Roslyn Young Daniels, founder and president of Black Health Matters, – wrote in the press release.
Participants will share first-hand accounts of living with donor kidney transplants, autoimmune diseases, kidney disease and mental health issues.
Black health matters was founded in 2012 and stays the leading source of knowledge on chronic disease management and wellness for Black Americans.
