Hello:

Could you point me in the direction of people and programs that are examining or applying (through existing and operating programs) ways for microenterprise entrepreneurs to support and advance wellness, health support, healthcare and nutrition programs in the US and Canada. I am trying to find programs that could serve as models in this respect.

Thanks.
