b'EASTOVER HEALTH EMPOWERMENT TOUR P R E S E N T E D B Y :&C O - S P O N S O R E D B Y : We are proud at IMARA Woman Magazine to celebrate the 19th annual Health Empowerment Tour. The Tour is a free community event that provides valuable health information to encourage attendees to take charge of their health to prevent or manage chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and more. The tour offers culturally appropriate ways to make small lifestyle changes to improve health outcomes. We do it all while mixing learning with fun, food and entertainment.The tour was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic and postponed in part again this year due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in SC as a result of the Delta variant.We were able to offer one tour stop in Eastover in September before virus cases spiked again. Needless to say folks were delighted to attend a safe in-person event and they enthusiastically participated. We thank Prisma Health for their Presenting Sponsorship which ensured that the Health Empowerment was free to attend. Also, special thanks to the Richland Recreation Commission, The USC School of Medicine andtheamazingSteeringCommitteevolunteers,theRedHatGracefulNubians.TheTourisunique because it visits both rural and urban communities sharing information on how to live healthiermind, body and spirit.See for yourself from the pictorial highlights that the event was a huge success!
