Collectively, the service area is the most economically depressed region in the State (80 percent African American, 18 percent Caucasian, and 2 percent Hispanic). The network is composed of the Low Country Healthy Start Program, Allendale County Health Department, Allendale Alive, Allendale Office on Aging, and the grantee, Low Country Health Care System. Foremost, Allendale County faces major women's health issues. South Carolina has repeatedly cited Allendale County with the State's highest rates of infant mortality, breast and cervical cancer, low birth weight babies, and teenage pregnancy. Moreover, the county has had the highest teenage pregnancy rate nationwide during the last decade. In addition, Allendale County has a major health care access problem due to limited availability of both personal and public transportation. For these reasons, the participating partners of the Allendale Health Network have prepared this application with the vision of having an immediate impact upon the county's most serious problems.

Multicultural Programs Guest speaker Clinita Ford, Emeritus Faculty member at FAMU, addressed MEMS students at their annual recognition dinner. MEMS PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND ACHIEVEMENTS Background Purpose Increase the pool of trained professionals in the fields of nutrition, food and exercise sciences who desire to work with under served populations in the future Rationale A common challenge shared by allied health professions is the need for a high quality, diverse work force. Currently, minorities make up about 25% of the U.S. population but only 10% work as health care professionals. One of the goals of Healthy People 2010 is to increase the proportion of degrees awarded to underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. MEMS is a model program that facilitates the degree attainment and professional preparation of students from a variety of backgrounds who desire to enter allied health professions and to improve the health condition of undeserved populations. Outcomes (As of Spring 2003) 67 students are currently in or have completed MEMS 58 students have completed MEMS, including 6 completing "Advanced MEMS Projects"1
