There is a disproportionately high prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the Laredo community, and the HEAL project was created to address these health issues.    Fellows will be involved in this important project that is a continuation of the successful work of the faculty and 2009 CDC/HSHPS fellows.

Program Duration: 

June thru December, 2010 (6 months)

Work hours:  Students will be required to participate in the program from Monday to Friday
