Today at Frederick Douglass High School I attended Project Health. A series geared towards bringing awareness for better health.  Attendees enjoyed a special invited guest at this location NBA Star Dominique Wilkins. Dominique shared his struggles as a diabetic and how to over come challenges, The Documentary "The Debilitator" was also debuted.  CVS/pharmacy is committed to helping people on their path to better health. African-American communities are struggling with serious health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, and when it comes to good health, knowing where you stand is the first step.
