The HPAC program at Northeast Ohio Medical University engages local youth by empowering them to identify local health concerns and formulate grassroots efforts to address relevant issues in their communities. Students identify and create community programs to address a wide-range of issues such as mental health, obesity and substance abuse. There are currently more than 2,500 students participating in HPAC throughout Ohio.
