For the residents of rural Brunswick County, VA, it’s common for patients to not have a full understanding of their health situation. For some, this could be life-threatening, which is why the staff at Central Virginia Health Services (CVHS), a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), is partnering with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and working to fill this health education gap. Listen as Paula Tomko, CVHS’ CEO, and Dr. Kathy Tossas, from VCU, are working to make it possible for the Brunswick community to better understand their health risks, factors, and learn best practices for living healthier lives.
