Access to healthcare information is a critical issue for many low-income families in Athens-Clarke County. The Learn & Serve Hispanic Healthcare Pilot Program, which began in January 2005, is a student-initiated project designed to bring useful information on healthcare to the Latino community in Pinewoods Estates North. During the spring semester, the topics included diabetes education, medical forms, vaccinations, and prenatal and infant care. The speakers were healthcare professionals associated with healthcare providers in Athens.
