Welcome to our first volume of the Center for African American Health’s (CAA Health) Pearls of Wellness blog! The mission of CAA Health is to empower the Black community to make informed health decisions that benefit the whole person through education, collaboration, and advocacy.

We’re excited to launch our portal as a way of extending our mission to improve the health and well-being of the Black community by offering community-based, evidence-based, disease prevention and disease management programs, events, and services.

More than just a mere blog of utility, we will share a wide array of information and topics related to overall health and wellness, community development programs, and news and exciting initiatives on our blog. Additionally, we’ll keep you plugged in with our most important community engagements

This blog is also a reflection of the heart behind our work—the people, stories, and experiences that inspire us every day. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or just getting to know CAA Health, we invite you to see yourself in this space. We hope you’ll find encouragement, practical tools, and maybe even a few “aha” moments along the way. Most of all, we hope you feel a sense of community here, because your wellness journey matters, and we’re honored to walk alongside you.

We’d love it if you joined us on this exciting, new journey!!
