areas, and other underserved areas of the nation.  Field programs
give medical, nursing, dental, and other health students
professional experience while serving the poor and underserved.

room at the ECCO Family Health Center, 1166 E. Main Street,
Weaver will participate in a roundtable session with state,
local, and university experts to discuss health programs for
underserved populations.

     The roundtable discussion is open to the news media; the
talk at Ohio State is free and open to the public.  Weaver's
presentation is sponsored by Ohio State's Department of
Preventive Medicine and the university's Preventive Medicine
Alumni Society.

Preventive Medicine, at (614) 293-3908.
