By Chuck Baker | 100 Black Men

Cardiovascular health, or “Heart Health,” is important for everyone, but for African Americans, it’s a matter of life or death because unfortunately it’s our No. 1 killer.

On behalf of the 159 members of the 100 Black Men of the Bay Area, I implore you to attend a free Heart Health Screening.

When: Saturday, Oct. 21
Where: Greater St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, 1827 Martin Luther King Jr Way, in West Oakland,
Time: 1 p.m.-4 p.m.

We will conduct free screenings using a new AI-powered technology to determine heart disease risk. Free refreshments will be served.

The American Heart Association states that 48% of African American women and 44% of African American men have some form of cardiovascular disease. This includes conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, and stroke.

There are many theories and studies that assess the “why” behind our increased risk, but there is consensus around actions we can take right now to significantly reduce our risk to cardiovascular disease.

The 100 Black Men of the Bay Area has a longstanding history of promoting preventative health strategies, conducting health screenings, and providing education on diseases prevalent in the African American community.

Regarding Heart Health, simple steps, such as regular health check-ups, screenings, a balanced diet, physical activity, and stress-reducing techniques, can go a long way. Education about the importance of cardiovascular health and its implications can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being.

Good health and well-being are the foundation of a thriving community, and together, we can improve our health outcomes.

Chuck Baker is a commissioner on the Oakland – Alameda Coliseum JPA Commission and a director of Business Development, Azure Infra and AI, at Microsoft.
