Healthy CMHA 2000

---

By joining forces with community partners, Case Western Reserve University's Urban AHEC is working hard to make sure that residents of the Cuyahoga County Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) are healthy.

Healthy CMHA 2000 is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson and Cleveland foundations. In addition to Case Western Reserve University College of Medicine, community partners are CMHA and the Health Museum of Cleveland.

Through community outreach, education and activities, the program promotes good health and connects housing residents to health care and social service agencies in Cleveland. Physicians from the College of Medicine contribute the latest information to community residents and health care providers. Students are a part of the Healthy CMHA 2000 team, providing outreach and education activities.

Through this program, students learn about cultural differences from the residents and develop clinical assessment skills while the residents get the health care and social service care they need.
