Alwyn Cohall '76, M.D., director of the Harlem Health Promotion Center, recently received a $4.375-million award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study the impact of Web-based interactive health communication on improving health promotion in Harlem. Additionally, as director of Project STAY (Services to Assist Youth), he also received a $2.125-million award from the New York State Department of Health. "A unique component of the program is the formation of a mobile health team, who provide off-site education and screening services to youth in community sites, such as alternative high schools and alternatives-to-incarceration programs," he notes. Affiliated with the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, he received his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentisty of New Jersey.
