I thought colleagues would be interested in knowing about PROCOR. It is a
vibrant listserv that focuses on a topic of growing concern in the South and
in many parts of Eastern Europe.

ProCOR
Global Electronic Conference on Cardiovascular Health
in the Developing World
ProCOR is an ongoing, moderated e-mail discussion group and Web-based
information site aimed at addressing the silent epidemic of cardiovascular
disease in the developing world. The goal of ProCOR is to create a dynamic
international forum where health care providers, researchers, public health
workers, and others may share timely information and participate in raising
the awareness about this emerging public health challenge. ProCOR is guided
by a distinguished Advisory Committee comprising of colleagues from
internationally recognized institutions around the world. Moderators screen
incoming messages and post current research, as well as clinical and public
health information, ensuring the high scientific quality of the discussion.
By joining, you will become part of a network of health professionals
dedicated to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, including, for
example, Dr. Bernard Lown, a distinguished Harvard cardiologist and
co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985.
ProCOR was officially launched in July of 1997 as a collaborative effort
between SATELLIFE and the Lown Cardiovascular Center. SATELLIFE is a
Boston-based, non-profit organization dedicated to creating access to health
information resources and facilitating electronic communications for health
professionals in the developing world. SATELLIFE provides all technical and
administrative support for ProCOR. The Lown Cardiovascular Center, based in
Brookline, MA, U.S.A., is affiliated with the Harvard Medical and Public
Health Schools. The Center's activities encompass cardiology care,
research, and fellowship training.
ProCOR is completely FREE. We invite and welcome all interested colleagues
to participate in this vital international network. It is time for your
voice to be heard.
