Black Health Empowerment Project: Eat, Move and Test for Health!

Welcome to the Black Health Empowerment Project (BHEP). The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is delighted to inform you of our obesity awareness and health promotion program. From 2005 to 2009, the community-oriented health initiative traversed the country to encourage thousands of African-American adults and youth to “Eat, Move and Test for Health!”  

Although BHEP has concluded, we invite you to explore our Web pages and then act to improve your well being by attending a CBCF health forum or event in or near your city. Awaiting you is a day of timely health information, free screenings and/or interactive activities such as the following:

• Upbeat health sessions for the body, mind and spirit;

• A Health & Fitness Expo offering heart health, diabetes and other important tests and resources at no cost; 

• An “Ask the Experts” zone featuring mini-consultations with knowledgeable and caring health professionals;

• Wellness activities tailored for men, women, seniors and children;

• A community fitness games competition (in select locations); and

• Great giveaways, entertainment and more.

CBCF's community health events are free and open to the public. Join us for a memorable experience that shows you how tasty, enjoyable and accessible good health can be. Come ready to move and learn!
