The San Diego Black Health Associates, Inc. was formed by African American health care professionals in 1978. Originally the group was organized by James A. Forde as the San Diego Black Health Executives organization, in response to the disturbingly poor health status and problems that Black families faced with access to resources. (Mr. Forde proceeded to become the first African American Director of Public Health in the County of San Diego).

What does being an “apple” or “pear” mean and why does it matter?
Your health is affected not only by how much body fat you have, but also by where most of the fat is located on your body. People who tend to gain weight mostly in their hips and buttocks have roughly “pear-shaped” figures, while people who tend to gain weight mostly in the abdomen have more of an “apple” shape.
