The African American Community Health Equity Council (AACHEC) is an independent community body in collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s African American Health Initiative. The mission of the Council is to be a powerful advocate for health in San Francisco and to close the gap of negative health disparities affecting people of African descent by gathering and sharing health information and resources that promote effective health policies, community action and well being.

Listening, Sharing and Taking Action for Better Health

This slide-show is a pictorial sampling of the 100 community health leaders who attended the AACHEC’s May 3rd Health Conference at the University of California at San Francisco, Mission Bay Campus. Participants received the latest data on health outcomes by race and neighborhoods, explored health policies, participated in self-care activities and sampled complementary alternative medicines such as acupuncture, massage and chiropractic services. The conference theme was: “Living and Dying in San Francisco: Rethinking Health in the Black Community. To learn more about the conference or upcoming neighborhood health summits, please contact us. We believe health care is a human right and good health a personal responsibility.
