Men, your health matters.
From routine checkups to mental wellness, it's time to stop delaying and start prioritizing.

Your family, your purpose, and your future depend on it.

This Men's Health Month, let's normalize prevention, not just treatment.

🫀 Today is World Hypertension Day.

High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" for a reason: many don't even know they have it. But awareness is the first step toward prevention.

At ExcelCD, we're committed to building healthier communities — one habit, one household, and one heartbeat at a time.

So, what can you do to prevent high blood pressure?

✅ Eat more fresh produce
✅ Limit sodium and processed foods
✅ Move your body daily
✅ Monitor your blood pressure regularly

Let's make health a priority, not a crisis.

🗣️Your Voice Matters, and We're Listening!

At ECD, we're committed to serving with purpose—and that starts with truly hearing from YOU! The needs and desires of our community shape the work we do. It's not about what we think should be done—it's about what YOU say is needed.

We're not just here to serve; we're here to be a voice for our community. The insights from our recent Community Needs Survey are helping us understand the challenges, priorities, and programs that matter most to Washington County residents. Check out the data below!

If you haven't shared your thoughts yet, we'd love to hear from you! Drop your input in the survey (linked in the comments), and let's build a stronger community together.

Thank You for a Powerful Community Health Fair!

Yesterday, Excel Community Development was honored to be a sponsor at the City of Greenville & Mayor’s Health Council’s Community Health Fair! 🙌🏽

A huge thank you to Remelda Lewis for always welcoming ECD as an event sponsor and for your dedication to improving community health. We also extend our gratitude to the incredible Health Council team and Dr. Fakorede & his team for allowing us to set up at the event and connect with so many Washington County residents!

Through meaningful conversations and numerous community surveys, we gathered valuable feedback on the thoughts, needs, and desires of local citizens. This input will help shape the work we do moving forward, ensuring that we continue to serve in impactful ways.

Stay tuned! We’ll be sharing insights from the surveys soon! We’re excited to keep growing in 2025! 💡✨
