The facts are that African American Women are 3-4 times more likely to die without health insurance. Black Women and Girls’ Expo is an annual event and workshop series providing education and action steps to the community in order to address health care disparities that put lives at risk.

 

Our expo was created with the goal of educating and empowering black girls and women to seek preventative health care (Physical, Mental and Spiritual). At each annual expo and our follow-up workshops happening throughout the year, women and girls have opportunities to get connected to free and low cost health care services and providers.

 

We invite Black providers from a range of health and wellness areas in the Pittsburgh community to speak from their experience and expertise, share their skills through hands-on engagements with attendees, and connect with the women and girls of our communities who are looking to take control of their wellness.
