disease. The Black Men’s Health Initiative (BMHI) is focused on
community prevention education and innovative interventions that
will have direct results in lowering risk and improving the health

Diabetes Initiative of South Carolina. He chaired for two years the
Initiative’s Task Force to Increase Minority CDEs (certified
