abstract: The author discusses the planning and development of a unique method of reaching African American clients by Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. members in the state of South Carolina through use of beauty shops and barber shops, which is termed Hair Care Centers. Using bulletin boards which are placed in these establishments, the members of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. change the educational materials monthly based on the minority health awareness themes created by the Office of Minority Health in Washington, DC. The goal of Project F-HC is to take self-care, health promoting, disease prevention information to places where persons frequent, making it easily accessible.
