UM HEAT-IT-UP Program Gets Off the Ground
|
| John Ryan, Dr.P.H., spoke to a group of participants at the launch of the HEAT-IT-UP project in Overtown. |
Ten newly trained and now computer savvy volunteers heard themselves called medical pioneers for their participation in a unique project aimed at changing the way primary care is delivered and how patients interact with their health care providers by using a computer and the Internet. The official launch of the Overtown "Health Education and Access Through an Information Technology Utilization Project (HEAT-IT-UP)" took place on October 14 the Jefferson Reaves Sr. Health Center in Overtown. The primary care clinic serves as the family medicine residency training site and is also a United Health Foundation Center of Excellence.

ENT Partners with Overtown Youth Project to Provide Free Hearing Screenings

The Miller School's mission to help build a healthier South Florida is evidenced every day by the willingness of faculty, staff and students who engage in outreach, often leaving the medical campus to dispense that care. Recently, children at the Overtown Youth Center were the excited beneficiaries of this outreach when members of the University of Miami Ear Institute, part of the Department of Otolaryngology, dropped by for a day of free hearing screenings and discussion on how to prevent hearing loss.
