Maternal Health Equity Initiative – Focuses on reducing disparities in childbirth experiences by engaging community focus groups from diverse backgrounds, including refugee and immigrant families.
Community Paramedicine Program – Provides non-emergency medical care to patients at home after ER visits or hospital stays, helping those with limited healthcare access remain healthy.
