Urban Health Radio Program (UHRP)

"Breaking It Down: Our Health Our Way"

WOLB 1010 AM
Thursdays from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

The Urban Health Radio Program provides a straightforward and culturally relevant educational program to address challenges and promote sustainable solutions to address health and health care disparities affecting residents of Baltimore in general and more specifically East Baltimore. Our initial program will be in English and emphasize an African American and Urban Health format. In addition, we are working with the Latino Faculty Group to develop a Spanish version of our Urban Health Radio Program curriculum to be aired on a Spanish radio station.
