This is a summary of the results of a project to influence cardiovascular risk factors in a rural population using a community based clinic with very limited financial and staffing resources. The project, which was well received by the community, was successful in influencing community-wide awareness of cardiovascular risk factors and in screening many people who would otherwise not receive medical care. A significant number of correctable risk factors for cardiovascular disease were discovered.
