Health and Human Services programs bring greater focus, resources and coordination to health initiatives already in existence. Our signature Red Dress Health Links to Heart Health Program was established in partnership with The Links, Incorporated, federal agencies, local hospitals and community groups to increase awareness of the number one killer of women, heart disease. With ongoing forums, panels, workshops and health fairs, we provide Community Partnership Grants, educational awareness and prevention programs to high risk minority women. Our chapter also engages our community with Walk for Health Living, a walking campaign to improve heart health. In addition to our heart health programs, we plan to increase cancer prevention and awareness through our Health Equity Ambassador Links program.

Under the leadership of our STY facet, we once again designed and implemented an expansion program, STEAM PLUS: Pathways to a Lifetime of Unlimited Success, using learning tools to fulfill our goals. We secured robot kits and scheduled Professional Shadowing opportunities for participants to explore related STEAM studies and careers.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $178k to $314k (+77%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.
