Beautiful Black Woman Without Heart Disease

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 a part of "The Beautiful Black Woman Without Heart Disease" project May 14th through May 25th.

As women get older they are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. African American women have higher rates of cardiovascular disease than women of other races.

Read and learn important facts about heart disease, and ways to reduce your risk while relaxing with the other ladies at your area salon. 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, Salon De’Excellence, DeDarvells, Celebrity Room, Epiphanee Pampering Service, Vision of Beauty, "A Flair for Hair", Unique Impressions, and Studio 10.
