Ladies! Experience the total beauty look: "Healthy Inside;
Beautiful Outside!" Join the Genesee County Health Department
and local area salons for important health information that can
last a lifetime. Be one of the many women in Genesee County to be
part of the "Beautiful Black Woman Without Heart
Disease" project November 26th through December 21st.
Cardiovascular disease kills more women than all forms of
cancer, chronic lung disease, pneumonia, diabetes, accidents and
AIDS combined. African American women have higher rates of
cardiovascular disease than women of other races.
More women than men have high total cholesterol levels, high
LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, are physically inactive and are
obese. All of these factors contribute to cardiovascular disease.
Read and learn important facts about heart disease and ways to
reduce your risk while relaxing with the other ladies at your area
salon. You will also be given an opportunity to have your
cholesterol level checked for FREE! For participating
in this project, you will receive
incentives, a chance to win prizes, and most importantly, valuable
health information.
The "Beautiful Black Woman Without Heart
Disease" project is brought to you by the Genesee County
Health Department. Participating salons include: Beauty
Image, Kings and Queens, Salon De’Excellence and Studio 10.
