LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — On Saturday, North Healthcare highlighted the importance of health, especially for Black men.
Black Men's Wellness Day aims to provide individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health to maintain and improve their health.
The event took place at the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center on West Muhammad Ali Boulevard. The event aimed to address health disparities in the Black community.
There were health checks, games and activities for the kids, and even a 5k run.
“I think health and wellness is one of the most important things in our community,” said participant Chris Redd. “We often take it for granted, so we want to be intentional about bringing the community together and making sure it's not just for a fun event, but also to remember to stay healthy.”
