YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Medical professionals from Onvida Health made their way to Arizona Western College (AWC) Saturday to host the “Research Transforming Communities: Empowering Health” Symposium.
The symposium, which took place at 8:00 a.m. at the Schoeing Conference Center, served the purpose of sharing insights and future goals to improve patient care and building a better community.
The event primarily focused on behavioral health and family medicine, and with AWC serving as the host, the school hopes to further the healthcare pipeline between them and Onvida Health.
“It’s important for us to empower and create a pipeline for education. Make it feasible for others to see what is possible in Yuma, and what we can expand to,” said Dr. Eyuel Terefe with Onvida Health.
“We have a great collaboration with Onvida and we are looking into more programming and collaboration in future,” said Reetika Dhawan with AWC.
The symposium lasted until 2:00 p.m. To learn more about the symposium, click here.
