 Over 30 students and their parents attended an orientation for the Inland Empire Student Ambassador Project. These students will be trained to deliver health-related messages to people in the waiting rooms of the following clinics: Community Health systems, Moreno Valley and Bloomington locations and Kids Come First in Ontario.  After 12 hours of training by medical professionals, the students will spend 24 hours in 2-3 hour shifts at the clinic offering prevention messages on topics such as diabetes, hypertension, and personal hygiene. All of the students participating are connected to a health pathway program in the Inland Empire.
