Although this day is focused on African-Americans, hypertension gone undetected and untreated negatively effects every race.
Worship-Site Health Education Program (WSHEP)
WSHEP was established to promote public awareness of the harmful effects of hypertension and educate the public on ways to prevent the complications of hypertension and other related cardiovascular risk factors. Working with faith leaders and communities across the country, ISHIB members present the message of the importance of good health and establishing healthy lifestyles during worship services. On-site blood pressure screening and health education materials are provided to participants.
