Dr. Ludke has been actively involved in community-based research activities, particularly through the Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati and the Urban Appalachian Council of Greater Cincinnati. Dr. Ludke received the Volunteer Leadership Award from the Health Improvement Collaborative in 2003.
