Hispanic Community Medical Outreach (HCMO)

The Hispanic medical Community Outreach Organization focuses on educating and addressing health issues in the local Hispanic Community.  Events include health screenings and osteopathic treatments primarily focused on the Spanish speaking population in and around VCOM. 

In addition to community outreach activities, the HCMO also organizes social activities including Salsa dancing and culturally focused potlucks, to bring awareness about the Hispanic culture.  The HCMO student organization is dedicated to continuing to support VCOM’s international and Appalachian outreach activities and developing activities that allow student physicians the opportunity to practice their Spanish skills, and in the process better prepare for and more effectively communicate with Spanish speaking patients.
