Shavon Arline, National Director for Health Programs for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) spoke exclusively with ReelUrbanNews.com in an on camera interview following an historic health summit which featured the Surgeon General of the United States, Vice Admiral Regina Benjamin, USPHS, and two former U.S. Surgeon Generals, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, and Dr. David Satcher.” We had an historic day with the three African American Surgeon Generals who have served this country. This was the first time the NAACP has had them together on one panel. The charge was to take on health disparities, not only personal responsibility but also becoming advocates in the community.” Shavon Arline, National Director for Health Programs, NAACP
Arline shared with ReelUrbanNews.com that the NAACP is using new media platforms to inform the public about heath initiatives paramount to the historic organization. “The NAACP is alive and on-line. Check us out on Facebook. Check us out on Twitter. The NAACP is on-line and ready to communicate with all generations.” Shavon Arline, National Director for Health Programs, NAACP
