The PACE Program

The PACE Program (Parity Achievement Community Empowerment) offers an exciting opportunity for Volunteers to take on leadership roles in their respective communities as a member of one of the Parity Action Teams for Breast Cancer, Prostate, Cancer and Diabetes.

The PACE Program is funded by the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund.
The NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund makes North Carolina stronger, both physically and economically, by funding programs that promote preventive health. Created by the General Assembly in 2000 to allocate a portion of North Carolina's share of the national tobacco settlement, HWTF has invested $199 million to support preventive health initiatives and $102 million to fund prescription drug assistance programs.

Building Brothers

The Building Brothers program’s focus is to enrich the lives of African-American men who are diabetic in Buncombe County by encouraging men to build healthy lives. We believe that physical, mental, economic, and social health strengthen the total man.  With this in mind programming includes providing participating men with support in cultivating healthy life styles health screenings, men’s support groups, and access to care for those without resources. In addition because mental and financial barriers often impede progress and success, the men will also receive one on one mental health support and financial counseling. The Building Brothers program is funded by the NC Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities.
