Who are we?

Sante Pam Show is a health and nutrition television series produced in January 2019 by Haitian Licensed Registered Dietitian, Mirline “Lynn” Fourron. Sante Pam Show is the first-ever TV show that focuses on Haitian nutrition, diet, and culture.

What is the work we do?

Our goal is to provide educational information on the Haitian community regarding preventive measures and overall health management as health conditions persist. We achieve this objective by teaching healthy eating habits and promoting physical activity exercises

What is the problem?

Haitian immigrants living in the United States have a common denominator: They pose health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, high cholesterol, and obesity. These risks could have been alleviated, or even prevented, with a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Having more than 25 years of research, teaching, and administrative experience, her commitment is in the attenuation of health and disease disparities using community-based participatory (CBP)approaches in research, service, training, and education. To this end, she has designed and led various nutrition education and nutrition intervention programs in Florida, U.S., and internationally. She has developed and participated in several community-engaged projects that are highly sustainable and effective. One example is a faith-based project geared towards African American communities that focused on healthy eating, increased physical activity, chronic disease management, and disease risk reduction.

 

As an active researcher in CBPR, my four most recently funded grants are for obesity prevention in pre-K children and parents, and in Alzheimer’s population. She is also active in creating nutrition and wellness programs that concentrate on reducing health disparities among low-income individuals and one such disparity is in food insecurity. As Vice President of Sante Pam, our goal is to reduce health and food disparities in underserved populations like the Haitian population.
