The mission of the Health and Human Services facet is to promote and facilitate programs that support the maintenance of good health and the elimination of chronic health disparities in communities of color through education, health advocacy, and optimal utilization of health resources.

The Greater Wayne County Chapter fully embraced the Health and Human Services program emphasis when established because of our deep connection to the medical community and medical professionals in our ranks.  Health and healthcare had been prominent themes in our fundraising efforts in 2010, 2012 and 2014, raising $130,000 for the Karmanos B triple C3 breast and cervical cancer screening primarily for disadvantaged African American women.  The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) provided resources, free screening and care to help save lives of women prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act.  The Greater Wayne County Chapter has helped more than 1000 women receive free screenings.

The chapter, taking the lead from the National Links initiative, Linkages to Life, activated a local partnership with the Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP). That program amplified education within the African American community about the precious Gifts of Life that organ and tissue transplantation can provide, especially with a disproportionate number of African Americans on the list awaiting organ transplant and a low level of uptake in the African American community to become organ donors.  The Greater Wayne County Chapter continues to provide support to close this education gap.
