Greater Wichita Minority Health Council
The American Heart Association is dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke in the African American community. 

Volunteers are needed for the Wichita Minority Health Councils as we work together to promote our free programs/campaigns, such as Power To End Stroke, to increase the awareness of heart disease and stroke in these communities. 
 
Council members meet monthly and include representatives from the healthcare, corporate, advocacy community, as well as community, faith-based, and family members/survivors of heart disease and stroke.  All members will be asked to integrate our programs into the community and assess additional areas of need.

With your support and passion, the American Heart Association will continue saving lives and building stronger communities.
For more information or to sign up please contact Tru-Kechia Smith, (913) 652-1930, Health Equity Director.
