Community Taskforce for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program

A collaborative effort formed by over 120 individuals to address cardiovascular disease through education, with a focus on early identification, social support, and academic expectations for youth. Utilizing data sources such as BRFSS and Gonzaga University studies, the program aims to implement actionable strategies within the next 5 years and target at-risk students before high school. Funded by entities like RWJ Grant and Empire Health Foundation, the initiative involves developing community attendance boards, mentoring programs, and teacher training on childhood trauma.
