What ever happened to the good ole days?  Remember working in the garden with your grandparents, or parents?  What happened to the fruit trees that used to grow in the neighborhood where families would spend countless hours preparing jams, preserves, and canned goods for storage?

Down Home Healthy Living (DHHL) looks at cultural eating habits and offers suggestions on healthier alternatives that don't completely remove the culture, but improves the benefits of what is being consumed. 

The outer appearance of a man doesn't always reflect the status of his health. 

This program was designed by IPFW student, Justin Beal.  "Men have an outward appearance that is deceiving", he stated.  We developed a program that addresses awareness issues on prostate cancer, stroke, and HIV/AIDS.  A program delivered by men, for men, only!

Support is always important when dealing with difficult situations such as cancer, or caring for someone with cancer.  FWAACA offers culturally sensitive support programs for men and women, facilitated by skilled professionals. 

A unique collaboration of the Allen County Health Disparity Coalition.  FWAACA, the brainchild of this effort has brought community health, education, and social organizations to provide free health screenings to individuals that have inadequate health coverage.  Referrals are made to appropriate health care agencies that will support these individuals regardless of their ability to pay for services.
