Physical and Mental Health

Physical and Mental Health is one of the major programs of the Five Point Thrust. MCAC strives to promote the Total Woman: Mind, Body and Spirit. This year, the committee has proposed numerous programs and initiatives that will lead MCAC to being more health conscious, physically fit and mentally sound.

The calendar of proposed events focuses on the many issues that affect our community including Diabetes, Heart Disease, and obesity in juveniles and adults. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of all American women and is prevalent in 44.7% of African American females. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has partnered with the Go Red Initiative to educate other Sorors and the community on this alarming figure.
