Communities of color are less physically active than others, putting them at greater risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, according to the Department of Health & Human Services. In Long Beach, several community-based groups are working towards changing those statistics, making health and fitness programs free or affordable for low-income residents.
