PACIFIC ISLANDER HEALTH PROJECT. In 2014 Neil MacNaughton, a former Peace Corps member who lived in Micronesia and later an associate professor of nursing at the UNIVERSITY OF DUBUQUE, was asked to make a presentation about the MARSHALLESE population in Dubuque. The audience was hosted by MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. The presentation fit into the plans of Mercy officials who were looking for local populations to which they could reach out. Art ROCHE, Mercy's former director of planning, became the chairman of the advisory council for the project.
Organizers of the project focused on educating local health care providers about the Marshallese people and helping the Marshallese population connect with health services. Their work even drew the attention of the Micronesian population living in Maquoketa.
