  Black Infant Health Symposium A Success
   
 
   
  The Symposium held at the King Kennedy Center on Saturday, February 2, was a great success with over 200 people attending to discuss the health disparities facing African American infants in Stanislaus County.

The topic of rap music and the effect of "Hip Hop' Culture on today's youth, proved to be the key to attracting the ears of many of the communities residents. Rappers like Yukmouth, Kuzzin Prece, Kraz and THC helped bring valuable elements to the day’s event.

The Health Services Agency's Black Infant Health Task Force could not have produced this successful event without the contribution of it's many partners including Teen Life Challenge, the State MCAH Branch, City of Modesto Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Services Department, and West Modesto King Kennedy Collaborative.

It is through partnerships like these that the health of the community can and will improve.
