Congratulations, Walkers!

University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
President James T. Willerson, M.D., congratulates Angela
Meshack, Dr.P.H., for being the health science center’s top
fund-raiser for the Heart Walk for two years in a row. Meshack
is a faculty associate in the Centers for Health Promotion and
Prevention Research at the UT School of Public Health. A
five-year veteran of the Heart Walk, Meshack is also a
member of the American Heart Association African American
Outreach Task Force. The health science center team had
300 walkers at the Nov. 5 event and raised more than
$24,000. The Stroke Team provided carotid artery
ultrasounds, and the dental van was there for screenings. The
university sponsored the White Cap Stroke Survivors Tent,
honoring stroke survivors and serving as an educational
gathering place for stroke survivors, family and friends.
