Morehouse School of Medicine is one of nine organizations across the country that has been subcontracted by the Altarum Institute and funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), to support educational activities that aim to promote heart health. This expansion of the Community Health Worker Health Disparities Initiative uses the traditional community health worker (CHW) model of health promotion and education to prevent and manage heart disease risk factors among underserved and minority populations.
