Z-HopeWhat is Z-HOPE?
Zetas Helping Other People Excel. Z-HOPE is an interactive, holistic and multidimensional outreach service initiative designed to enhance, cultivate and empower participants to develop health promoting lifestyle choices across the lifespan.
How does Z-HOPE work? Z-HOPE uses a holistic and multidimensional approach to program implementation. The multigenerational and gender specialized initiative contains programs and activities optimized to meet the needs and challenges of each group. Z-HOPE focuses its efforts within five major populations: women, youth, seniors, men and international women and designed to address the whole person via a holistic framework that focuses on the three key elements of life: Mind, Body, Spirit
Why Z-HOPE?
When one reviews the "State of Black America," it is evident that there still is much work needed to eliminate health disparities. In spite of America's technological advances, Black America still continues to experience more preventable diseases and ills in disproportionate numbers. There is no dispute that one's physical, mental and spiritual health impacts one's ability to work, live, love and just exist. Z-HOPE focuses the collective Zeta service efforts "upstream" by increasing awareness and prevention, thereby decreasing or lessening the impact of these preventable health issues. The goal of Z-HOPE is to empower people to become active partners in improving the quality of their own lives by providing information and knowledge in a digestible and usable format.

What is Stork's Nest?
A twenty-five year cooperative project of the March of Dimes and the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., the Stork's Nest program aims to increase the number of women receiving early and regular prenatal care so that preventable cases of low birth weight, premature birth and infant deaths can be avoided. The Stork's Nest program is designed to promote prenatal care participation and healthy behaviors through prenatal education and incentives.
Why
is Stork's Nest helpful?To have a healthy baby and a safe pregnancy, a mother-to-be must make some important decisions — seeking prenatal care as soon as possible is the most crucial. Tragically, many women do not get prenatal care during pregnancy — and their babies may be born too early or die. Twenty-five percent of US women fail to get prenatal care in the first three months of pregnancy — the most important time in an unborn baby's development. Babies born to women who don't receive prenatal care are four times more likely to die before their first birthday. Each year 33,000 babies die in the US before they are a year old.
