The “Health and Human Services” Facet is designed to promote and facilitate programs that support good health, and the elimination of chronic health disparities in communities of color.

• “Taking the ‘Sick’ out of Sickle Cell” is a Fresno Links signature partnership with Saint Agnes Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Central California established in 1994.  The program is designed to educate, raise awareness, and fund projects and activities that relate to the care and treatment of individuals suffering from sickle cell disease. Over a quarter million dollars have been raised to support activities related to the program and hundreds of individuals and families served. Proceeds received from the chapter's Hearts & Flowers Dinner/Dance and other fundraising events supported St. Agnes' Adult Sickle Cell Program on an on-going basis and provided funds for St. Agnes' Bed Campaign, to which a new patient bed was purchased. The Chapter has received many awards and recognition for this program, including an award at the National level. Currently the chapter annually provides activities and resources for families and youth living with Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia.

• “The Heart Truth” is a program designed to address the cardiovascular needs of high risk women.  Through a partnership with the University of California, the Chapter was awarded a Cardiovascular Disease Prevention grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to participate in a two-year research study whose purpose was to raise awareness of high mortality and morbidity rates that result from risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.  Seventy-seven (77) women enrolled in and participated in the study.

• “Circle of Promise” is a National Links’ collaboration with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This program focuses on engaging African American women in the fight to eradicate breast cancer.  Fresno Links participate in the Susan G. Komen’s Central Valley Race for the Cure annually.  Each year, twenty-five (25) percent of the proceeds received is directed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research on a national and international level. Seventy-five (75) percent of the proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local non-profit organizations.  Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education, screening or treatment to residents of Fresno County.  For instance, in 2015, funds were provided to have free mammograms offered to women at a Fresno neighborhood where health care services are limited.  As a result of this opportunity, three of the women that participated were referred for additional medical evaluations.

• “Eat Smart – Move Smart” is a ten (10) week childhood obesity prevention program.  Twenty-nine (29) 8 to 12 year old students and their parents participated in the first cycle.  The program was recognized as a “Promising Practice” program at the National level.
