Control Your Blood Pressure – Pink Goes Red Partnership

In honor of Heart Health Month, members of the JESF Foundation, Incorporated, partnered with the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association to help bring awareness to the effects of heart disease. According to research, African Americans tend to have greater risks of developing high blood pressure and heart disease. To help combat this, the foundation gathered with members of the community to share facts and resources.
