Text

coupled with the high prevalence of older people and chronic conditions in Quebrada Arriba, we selected this community to formalize the Medical Sciences Campus (MSC)-Centros Sor Isolina Ferré partnership. This partnership used principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR) to develop a relevant research question for a future project aimed at addressing health disparities among older adults with chronic conditions living in Patillas.
