I am a graduate student at Jefferson College of Health Science in
Roanoke, VA. For my senior project, I am writing a grant to fund startup
cost for a Health Literacy Resource Center. The focus of the center is
on patient health education in collaboration with the Physician
Assistant/Medical Schools in the region. The center would be located at
a small Critical Access Hospital in Giles County, VA. One goal is to
incorporate culturally appropriate teaching techniques specific to the
Appalachian Culture predominating the target population.
 
Do you know of any similar programs I could contact for bench marking
purposes? 

Thank You, 
Pat Dent
