Dr. Gloria Sarto’s dream
Our founder, Dr. Gloria Sarto left us on June 8, 2024. Dr. Sarto's most recent professional achievement was establishing The Foundation for Neighborhood Health Education. Before her passing, she laid the groundwork for the Foundation, which will be co-operated by her family and a select group of Dr. Sarto’s most trusted colleagues. While this innovative project is new to Dane County, our founder Dr. Gloria Sarto, operated a mobile health van in Chicago’s underserved Cabrini-Green area in 1984. The brightly colored van was called “Health Express” and we are excited to have a new iteration of the Health Ed Express mobile unit hit the streets of Wisconsin. Health Ed Express and the Foundation for Neighborhood Health Education aim to continue and honor the work of Dr. Sarto, by bringing vital health information and resources directly to those who need it most.
