African Americans currently have twice the risk of stroke as their Caucasian counterparts. And of any ethnic group in the world, African Americans are the most likely to have high blood pressure. The Power to End Stroke movement was created to address these disparities through education. That is why the American Heart and Stroke Association’s Power to End Stroke movement presented a free health and wellness fair that was open to the public on Friday, August 17, 2013 at Parklawn Assembly of God church. The Health and Wellness Fair was followed by a sold-out gospel concert program, featuring performances from the Parklawn Assembly of God Choir and the Signature Dance Company and concluded with a performance by national gospel recording artist, Dr. Marvin Sapp. Pictured (l-r) are: AHA Grassroots Advocacy Director Jason Harder, AHA Communications Director Jay Mate, and Milwaukee Fire Department firefighter Belinda Brawley.
