The Administration on Aging entered into a cooperative agreement with the National Caucus and Center on the Blalck Aged, Inc. (NCBA) to operate Project SURGE, ¿Seniors Unite with Resources to Get Empowered: A Community Health Action and Advocacy Training Program:¿ NCBA¿s goal is to advance knowledge and increase the effectiveness of future efforts to eliminate health disparities among African American elders. NCBA enlists its affiliates to reach its target population. Volunteers help older African Americans adopt healthier lifestyles using a trusted, decentralized, community-based approach through a network which includes senior housing communities, churches and senior centers. Staff participated in Chronic Disease Self Management (CDSM) training at Stanford University during early fall 2009. Volunteers will be trained as master trainers to promote the use of CDSM skills among older people. Initially, the project will be conducted in Baltimore, MD; Buffalo, NY; Oklahoma City, OK and with the Medical University at South Carolina in Charleston, SC.
