Community Outreach Projects
We believe that everyone in the community is entitled to access reliable and trustworthy health information, with assistance in a manner that is both comforting and respectful, and without economic, educational or linguistic hindrances. To help achieve this, the Grillo Health Information Center particpates in outreach projects to provide health research assistance in community locations.
Past Projects
The People's Clinic
The People's Clinic
provides a wide range of medical services to Boulder's economically disadvantaged population. Patient education, an integral component of the Clinic's services, works with the goals of the Grillo Center. Bilingual Grillo Center volunteers staffed a table with a laptop computer, were at the Clinic one morning a week, and were available to assist patients in accessing online Spanish-language health information.
The Family Learning Center
Boulder families, who are most in need, find educational resources and all manner of family support services and preschool programs at the Family Learning Center. Education is central to empowering families to succeed and become self-sufficient. To this end, Grillo Center bilingual volunteers helped provide access to health information one day a week to help these families achieve some of these goals.
Boulder High School
Even though teenagers are computer savvy, finding reliable health information on the Internet can be tricky for students. Supporting students' need for independence, the Grillo Center Co-Directors consulted with the Boulder High School Librarian and provided resources to guide teenagers as they sought health information.
