The institute's initiatives span a wide range of activities, from health education and nutrition classes to community engagement events and health screenings. For instance, a 10-week health and nutrition class was conducted in Spanish at South Walker Church of Christ, targeting a cohort of 35 individuals from South Oklahoma City.
