Our hospital used “Your Choice for Change - Honoring the Gift of Heart Health for American Indians” I love it! Easy to use. I use the curriculum in cardiac rehab and community education classes. Good for low literacy patients. Lots of visuals and written for the lay person to understand. Patients like it. Visuals and stories are culturally appropriate.—T.C., Arizona

Our mission is to enhance the personal and environmental health of our community through education, collaboration, advocacy and direct provision of services. We use the Latino Recipe Book in our work. People love it. We use it a lot at community events and information tables.

Our County is an area rich in history with a diverse population and geographical make-up. The result is a rich multi-cultural medley of people that possess a valuable array of talents, interests, dedication to education, and commitment to community. We utilize the publication Heart Healthy Home Cooking African American Style. I selected the publications to have something that was appealing to my audience. I also wanted something that they were willing to pickup and read plus also wanted a book that was relevant culturally and medically.—S.E., Maryland
