What is a recent project, publication, or feature you are proud of? I love working with others, so I was very excited when asked to collaborate on a recent project. This project helps to meet the need of improved population health outcomes in our surrounding community. Screening for Life, a three-year research project funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, and led by project manager Susan Lacey, involves collaboration of healthcare faculty from ULM. Our multi-discipline team provides health screenings and education to community members of an 8-parish service area that has worse than national average health outcomes. This project is intended to support the self-sufficiency of these parishes through the education and training of Community Health Workers (CHWs). This project also offers healthcare students the opportunity to practice their knowledge and skills in a real-world setting, and to reflect on their own personal growth and development. The chance to help make a difference in the lives of so many community members is personally rewarding, as is the opportunity to collaborate on this grant and project with other healthcare faculty from ULM.
