VOICE OF CHANGE (VOC):
VOICE OF CHANGE (VOC): Community Conversations to improve immigrant Health Literacy & Equity. VOC is an innovative online health education series aimed at empowering underserved African immigrant communities, particularly low-income individuals in the Greater Worcester area. The project addresses critical health disparities by providing culturally sensitive, accessible health education on chronic disease prevention, early detection, and healthcare navigation. By addressing these challenges, the Community Conversations series promotes health equity, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and improve health outcomes.
This initiative not only increases health literacy and community engagement but also enhances cultural competency among healthcare providers, ensuring better service access. Ultimately, the project aims to improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities, and empower immigrant communities to take control of their health, resulting in transformative impacts on both individual and population health.
