Milwaukee will host its first Health and Wellness Summit geared toward African American men this weekend.

The people behind the Milwaukee-based Brain, Brawn, and Body website created it to engage men more actively in managing their own health. But they discovered something interesting – even though it’s a site geared to men, the majority of the people who read it are women.

That fact helps shape an event the group has organized tomorrow, also about men and wellness. The Health and Wellness Summit brings together a variety of experts and organizations with a stake in keeping men healthy.
