The University of South Alabama College of Medicine Public Health Interest Group (PHIG) will host its first fundraiser on March 22 at Taziki’s Mediterranean Café, located at 9 DuRhu Drive, suite 300, in Mobile. Place your order between 5 and 9 p.m. to dine in, carry out, or have it delivered with WAITR.

Since August 2018, students have explored topics such as community care clinics, international health policy and injustices, heart healthy diets, maternal and infant mortality disparities, and food deserts affecting Mobile.
