The Nova Scotia Brotherhood Initiative is a free program offering Black men access to health care in the Halifax community to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Sharon Davis-Murdoch lobbied for years for health services designed specifically to meet the needs of Black women in the Halifax area.
Her determination, and that of the other volunteers behind the Health Association of African Canadians, has finally paid off.
The Nova Scotia government has given the group $200,000 so it can pursue its goal to create what s being called the Sisterhood Initiative, a community-driven effort that would deliver health services geared to Black women. Well, you have to say we are persistent and resilient, Davis-Murdoch said of last week s announcement.
