Preventive health and wellness for women is the focus of a Charlotte-based virtual platform.

Village HeartBeat is sponsoring Convening Our Talented Resilient Intelligent Beautiful Encouraging Sisters, or TRIBES, on Jan. 28 with a virtual gathering from 7-8:30 p.m. Convening Our TRIBES is a leadership platform designed to address health concerns, share information, and identify resources to support women’s wellness.

The initiative is the latest outreach by Village HeartBeat, a collaboration between Mecklenburg County and community groups to reduce heart disease and obesity in the faith community. The program has built relationships with more than 60 faith-based organizations to reduce cardiovascular disease risk among Black residents, who are disproportionately impacted by nearly 20% compared to whites.
