1. Women's Issues...providing education on and support for women's medical issues goes directly to the heart of the most medically underserved community, and has the greatest benefit per dollar spent. The medical issues of women affect the primary caretakers, primary parent, least paid and most encumbered person in our communities. / 2. Nutrition. Good nutrition is a vital and missing component of preventative care in our community. By providing it early, and teaching it at a layperson level, we can attack diabetes, atherosclerosis, stroke and so many other disorders before they begin. / 3. Obesity is again, something which educating about, dealing with, and focusing on, provided a great deal of value-added impacts to adjacent and related illnesses. NPU 7
