Dr. Jim Walton is one of my best friends and a faithful partner in the community and human development work we are attempting here in inner city Dallas.
Ready for his titles and a very abbreviated job description?
Jim serves as Medical Director & Senior Vice President, Office of Community Health Improvement, Health Texas Provider Network, Baylor Health Care System and as Director, Institute for Faith Health Research-Dallas (a subsidiary of Central Dallas Ministries).
Jim, and everyone who stays around him for long (!), works to improve equity in community health by increasing health care access and by reducing outcome disparities.
As our leader of the Institute for Faith Health Research-Dallas, Jim investigates the role of faith and its impact on personal and community-level health improvement.
All of this to say, check out his new blog!
Dr. Jim is posting about once each week right now. Everything he writes is interesting and provocative. If you want a jolt to help you think differently about health and community, tune in to his blog at: http://institutedallas.blogspot.com/.
You won't be disappointed. After you've been there, spread the word to others who care about health and our nation's inner city communities.
