| A pilot federal program to improve health-care education and access for Mennonites and other target populations in a southern Indiana county involves the IU School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
Two faculty members in the Department of Applied Health Science are directing the evaluation of the three-year, community-based project in Washington County. They are Catherine Sherwood Puzzello and Michael Reece.
The primary goals of the program are to provide primary health-care services, transportation when needed to the health-care facilities and to increase health education. Among the recipients are several hundred Amish and Mennonites living in Washington County. Other agencies involved in the program are Hoosier Uplands, a non-profit community agency in Southern Indiana; Washington County Memorial Hospital and the county’s health department. | |
