Target 2: Women's Healthcare and Wellness

Alpha Kappa Alpha members will raise community awareness of important health issues effecting African American women. There are 4 focuses under this program:

• Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention
 The AKA Mobile Breast Cancer Screening Unit  will travel to locations and provide mammogram screening. Chapters are to partner with medical facilities and hospitals to emphasize the need for women of African descent to receive regular mammograms.

• Heart Health
 continues as a focus for sorority members to commit to healthy hearts through being active in fitness and walking. Chapters will be encouraged to create a walking club and to invite the community to join in.

• Nutrition and Wellness
 will focus on healthy lifestyles for all ages from prenatal, childhood, adult to seniors. It will be built on nutrition programs, and chapter members will partner with local nutritionists and dieticians to create eating plans and safe diets for a longer and healthier life.

• Care for the Caregivers
 focuses on taking care of those who care for those in need. Chapters will promote the need for caregivers to practice preventive healthcare and self care to remove the risks associated with the stress of being a caregiver.
