$3.7M to aid Nashville in reducing infant deaths. Thank you Dr. Kimberly Wyche Etheridge!


I am so proud of my friend and colleague Dr. Kimberly Wyche Etheridge. She has worked extremely hard on this issue and many people at our Metro Public Health Department are to be commended for their leadership and diligence in obtaining such a significant grant that will undoubtedly make a difference in Nashville.
I am equally excited that I and another great community leader and friend Michael Northern was able to play a part in helping get this important message out to the Nashville community as I did an interview on his show with Dr. Wyche Etheridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAYbdtaX9Qw
Congratulations Dr. Kim, Mayor Karl Dean, Dr. Paul and the entire Metro Public Health Department.
We also thank you for your hard work in bringing to reality a much needed Health Center/Community Center in the Hickory Hollow Mall area for Southeast Davidson and for helping Southeast Davidson have their first large scale Community Wide Health Event/Fair. You recognized our need and heard our voices and made our plea a reality. Thank you.
