  • "One of the ultimate outcomes of working with communities is to help reduce health disparities. It requires full participation of community leaders, businesses, churches, and neighborhoods to do this. Keeping that goal in mind helps with thinking through strategies."
  • "It would be great to have a short introduction to diagramming. 90 minutes is a real commitment to learn the basics."
