Project SPARROW
The South Central partnership voted to continue support of Project SPARROW, a three year multi-county cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke education, prevention, and management initiative targeting at-risk African Americans. This program was developed in response to the limited health infrastructure and significant need in this partnership region. The project is funded by the Health and Wellness Trust Fund, however the partnership will oversee its completion and assist with publishing and disseminating results.
