About us
BACHAC is dedicated to eliminating health disparities across generations and diverse communities through education and services. Since our founding in 1995, BACHAC has worked with corporations, mid- and small sized companies, community-based organizations, nonprofit health organizations, governmental agencies, health educators, institutions of higher learning, and the faith community to create a village united around a common goal: increasing awareness of and reducing the debilitating effects of health concerns that disproportionately affect communities of color. The AACHAC story is one of growth, outreach and success. Started as a grassroots volunteer effort, we have a long record of accomplishments. Today, we are recognized as a go-to resource for individuals, families, medical practitioners and others in the Bay Area and a model for improving health throughout the United States. Highlights: • More than 15,000 individuals are influenced every year from BACHAC’s outreach and educational programs. • Sponsor annual Off to a Good Start physical activity program. • Sponsor Soul Stroll for Health each May, a community walk and health fair promoting good nutrition and physical activity. • Conduct gender specific health conferences and symposiums designed to educate and encourage healthy lifestyles. • Provide annual breast cancer education, prostate cancer screenings and education, and several other Health Screenings. • Provide free mammogram screenings at Mills-Peninsula Breast Center (San Mateo, California) one Saturday each month for uninsured women. • Offer free exercise classes, flu vaccination clinics and vision screenings. • Serve as consultants to help others in the Bay Area and around the country develop community outreach efforts and conduct Soul Stroll events. • Nurture thriving network of church liaisons dedicated to bringing health information to their congregations and encouraging participation in screenings and events.

I was reminded today to take better care of myself and I hope you do the same. Check out this bit of inspo I created for Bay Area Community Health Advisory Council. Maybe there's a tip or two that you can use as you move through your day/evening. Be well, Everyone! #HolisticWellness #BlackWomenInBusiness #TakeCareofYourself #freelancelife #womensupportingwomen #womenownedbusiness #digiNoire #replenishyoursoul #restoreyourbalance
Embrace Holistic Wellness: 7 Tips for Your Holistic Health. Discover simple ways to nurture your body, mind, and soul. This Black History Month, let's embark on a journey to holistic well-being together! Do one thing everyday that's just for your wellbeing. It can be as simple as having a good stretch, drinking some warm tea, read a few pages of a good relaxing book, or just take a little rest. Health is not just about going to doctor appointments, it's about taking care of our whole selves. That means the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual parts of ourselves. "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes; even you." ~Anne Lamott #WellnessJourney #WellnessWednesday #HolisticHealth
