Community Outreach Program
The EXPORT Community Outreach Program is well underway. The Outreach Program focuses on eliminating health disparities in diabetes and colorectal cancer for African Americans. Our efforts, to date, in Jefferson County, focus on community members in zip codes 35203, 35207, 35211 and 35212. These zip codes were selected after reviewing census 2000 data for Jefferson County that indicated the highest percentage of African American residents in the County and lowest educational and/or economic levels compared to national averages.
