The family’s experience reflects a greater dynamic in Northwest Arkansas, state health officials said. As the region’s Hispanic population swells, the migration of new residents isn’t reflected in its nursing population.
That’s why education directors with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences invited Berumen, a ninth-grader at Springdale’s Central Junior High School, and a dozen other Hispanic junior high school students from Northwest Arkansas to five days of seminars, tours and hands-on lessons related to careers in medical fields this week.
The Northwest Arkansas program, called CHAMPS or Community Health Applied to Medical Public Services, is one of six in the state.”*
