The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is one of eight communities funded through CDC’s Sodium Reduction in Communities Program (SRCP). During the first year of the SRCP project, UAMS has focused on building university partnerships to facilitate learning opportunities for congregate meal partners. In response to partner requests for assistance on lowering sodium in donated and bulk food items, UAMS organized a training to demonstrate how to make sauces and dressings that add flavor to foods without adding sodium. This Web Forum highlights the successes and lessons learned from UAMS’ experiences building partnerships, providing technical assistance, and coordinating trainings to reduce sodium.
