G.A. Carmichael Family Health Center is proud to partner with the Jackson Heart Study Community Engagement Center (JHS-CEC). Representing JHS-CEC, Dr. Victor Sutton and Dr. Excel Fiemotonghan recently connected with the next generation of public health leaders, the Jackson Heart Study Scholars at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) to inspire, educate, and support their growth as future leaders in public health and community-engaged research.
As the JHS Graduate Training and Education Center (GTEC), USM plays a vital role in preparing future researchers. Our team had the privilege of presenting on "The Art and Science of Community Engagement: Bringing Community & Science Together," supporting their professional development in community-engaged research, and emphasizing how translating scientific research into community action is essential for improving cardiovascular health and achieving true health equity.
We love strengthening our partnership with USM as we work together to empower these incredible scholars. Keep up the amazing work!
