Areas of Focus

Community Based Participatory Research

We believe that engaging with the community in all phases of life is essential. Whether it's health fairs, community forums or attending and helping out with a gospel concert, we want to support one another in building a health and vibrant community.

Health Information and Technology

Health information and technology are important factors in health behavior and health outcome. We hope that by our engagement and collaboration we may foster rich conversation and also action to meet the needs of the community.
