This project tests how practical it is to offer a weight management program in churches while using technology and healthcare professionals as resources.
The Church Bridge Project is Funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to see if a church-based weight management program that uses mobile technology to link patients with health care professionals works well to meet the needs of African Americans in Stone County, MS.
Our goal is to reduce the risk of obesity and chronic diseases in our community through nutrition and physical activity.
