K.I. Services, Inc.
Project developed by: YVONNE V. WILLIAMS
Location: Alexandria, Virginia
Remarkably, K.I. Services, Inc., a newly incorporated nonprofit organization, was formed during the eight-month fellowship period. The purpose of the organization is to provide information, education, advocacy, and services to individuals from communities of color, and to educate and assist them in responding to disparities in health-care delivery. Its primary focus is on health and human services issues relevant to reducing the spread of diseases and promoting disease prevention. In addition, the organization will provide overall health education to people of color, with particular attention to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer (prostate, breast, and lung) and HIV/AIDS. Committed to developing and delivering culturally sensitive and competent services to the target population in an effective and practical manner, K.I. Services, Inc. actively involves the target population in program planning, development and implementation.
