 David Caldwell, Project Manager for the Rogers - Eubanks Neighborhood Association, shares his community with 2010 UNC SPHF Fellows "I was able to go out into the community, and I think this was critical
in gaining a deeper understanding of public health. We can discuss it
all we want to in the classroom, but public health takes place in the
community,
and this is where you can learn the most about it."
