Rust College

Rust College has developed a health literacy program titled Families First Resource Center. This health literacy initiative is designed to

operate on three levels. Level one offers health fairs, health conferences and health screenings to local community residents.  Level two

will coordinate activities of local health professionals and Rust College students who are interested in a career in the health services

field. Students will be assigned to an identified health professional in their area of interest. The Rust College students willshadow these

professionals as they conduct medical education workshops.  Workshop topics are to be based on demographic characteristics of the

population served.  Level three allows the students to make presentations within the community in churches and through civic

organizations.
