BEING BLACK AND HEALTHY

The Clark Media Network is dedicated to providing you with up to the minute news concerning your health with news wire feeds, links to medical topics that are culturally sensitive to black folks and multimedia presentations which include interviews/discussions with individuals in the health care arena.  Discussions will include topics ranging from lifestyle issues to surgical options to healthcare costs.  Additionally discussions will include the diseases which seem to plague our race the most including diabetes, hypertension and AIDS.
It is not our intent to duplicate the many health related resources that are already available on the internet.  However, we hope to be able to act as a reference buffer and guide you to the sites which we deem are the most thorough and relevant to the health concerns of black folks.  Please report any broken links as well as any sites you feel need to be considered for inclusion here, to our Webmaster.
