The University of Washington Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education Collaboration with the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center

· Faculty and students from the Center collaborate with representatives from the Salvation Army ARC to improve health literacy and health outcomes of men and women residents (beneficiaries) of the ARC- Seattle.

· Together we identify our professional and interprofessional roles in support of rehabilitation of addicted and recovering men and women

· Together we learn to work with and value client input as part of the process of developing health literacy along with addiction and general health recovery plans.

· Together we increase our knowledge of the special health care needs of men and women in addiction recovery.

· A Health Advisory Board (HAB) comprised of faculty, students and ARC representatives determines the health-related topics to be covered during the quarter.

· Faculty and students present health information on a wide variety of topics of interest and importance to the health of the ARC population
