T.H.E. L.O.C.
T.H.E. LOC (Total
Health Empowerment for Ladies of Color), a peer education group at
Thagard Student Health Center, was developed as a minority women’s
health initiative to increase awareness on FSU’s campus of healthcare
issues encountered by women of color.
T.H.E. LOC was
founded as a student response to address racial/ethnic disparities
in health
status in the United States. The group provides a forum by which women
of color
can participate in, be educated and educate others about issues that affect
their health
and well being.
Membership Requirements
You must be a student with an active interest in Minority Women’s
Health Issues.
