MPH candidates Kathryn Bennett, Jyll Kinney and Susan Ullrich explore salient public health issues. We are committed to finding effective intervention strategies that subvert misguided and wasteful public health efforts.

I forgot to tell you all ...
Today is the FIRST EVER National Rural Health Day! RPHSA, our student council, celebrated by inviting an active member of the Brazos Valley Community Action Agency, which administers the Community Health Clinic program in the local area.
Rural residents do indeed have special and specific needs. They can't always be grouped together as a whole (Alaska "rural" is vastly different from Texas "rural," for instance), but we need to recognize the unique attributes of these groups.
Rural public health essentially rocks. So get on board.
And Celebrate the Power of Rural!!!

Congratulations to all member of Brazos Valley Community, your students have done a remarkable job in rural areas. We should try to arrange health and fitness related workshops and seminars in rural areas to increase awareness.
