for the Advancement of Community Care
It is the mission of the Brancati Center to improve the health of communities by developing new models of healthcare in partnership with community organizations. Our Center is organized into three well-integrated units: Community Program Implementation, Education, and Community-based Research. Our focus is on providing access to evidence-based programs through partnerships with the community where people live, as well as to demonstrate outcomes.
February is filled with all matters related to the heart - we celebrate and cherish Black history, make time for our loved ones on Valentine's Day, and focus in on our heart health this month. In the February issue of the Brancati Center Bulletin, we discuss how adding intentional movement into our lifestyle can make a big positive impact on our heart health. We provide an update on current COVID-19 strains and remind everyone to get vaccinated. Our spotlight this month honors the late Reverend Melvin B. Tuggle who was a remarkable community leader.
