Dr. Melissa J. Geist received the Tolbert Research Award to serve as PI for ESTAR Sano (Education, Support, Training, Awareness, and Resources) to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 on the Hispanic/Latinx population in the Upper Cumberland Region. The ESTAR team includes co-PI, Dr. Mark Groundland (Associate Professor of Foreign Languages-Spanish), Cary Cass, MSN, RN, CHSE, TESL (WHSON Lab Coordinator and former Peace Corps Volunteer in El Salvador), Adriana Montalvo (S1 Nursing Student), and Cesar Espinosa (J2 Nursing Student). They conducted educational workshops for over 100 people, provided hand sanitizer, masks, Lysol spray, antibacterial wipes, etc., and distributed 200-Spanish language laminated cards with information about COVID-19 at the recent RAM clinic. They hope to reach more people this year and to continue partnerships to provide education and resources for chronic diseases. The ESTAR team is grateful for the financial support provided by Rebecca Tolbert.
