Project R.E.A.C.H.
The goal of the student-run, Rural Education Alliance for Community Health, is to serve and educate West Virginians across the state about healthy living.
Health professions students from diverse disciplines travel to different events across the state with emphasis on rural and underserved areas to provide health information about topics such as nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, diabetes education and oral hygiene including blood pressure screenings and self-exams.
Volunteer and Leadership Opportunities
Volunteers help run health education stations from start to finish including set-up, break-down and working with the public. Volunteers have the opportunity to practice clinical skills such as interviewing, calculating BMIs, and taking blood pressures. Want to be more involved? Take a leadership position with Project R.E.A.C.H. such as helping with event planning and serving as an event leader.
