and facilitate programs that support the maintenance of good
health and the elimination of chronic health disparities in
communities of color through education, health advocacy and
optimal utilization of health resources.   Our areas of emphasis are

CORE’s MOTTEP Program to distribute education material to local
churches; participates in the AHA Heart Walk and Race for the
Cure as well as partnering with the Gateway Medical Society’s
