Fitness entrepreneur and Heart Challenge Development Director. I love connecting people and building teams!
The American Heart Association turned 100 yesterday! For 100 years, the #AHA has been funding life-saving #research, #patientadvocacy programs, and #disesaseprevention initatives. Before coming to the AHA I had NO IDEA how much #communityimpact work (i.e., disease-prevention) was being done in #SanAntonio. I've been a fitness trainer for over a decade, so the PREVENTION efforts of the AHA team spoke to my little trainer heart. Our incredible Community Impact Directors--Gyna Juarez and Jordan Campos, M.P.H.--are doing life-changing and life-saving work in San Antonio and surrounding communities. Below are some highlights from their work so far in 2024: The City of Schertz adopted a Comprehensive Smoke-Free Policy. CHRISTUS Health Maternal and Fetal Care Center adopted a food insecurity screening, the AHA’s produce box delivery program and Self-Measured Blood Pressure program. CommuniCare Northwest Clinic adopted a food insecurity screening, produce box, and the AHA’s Measure Accurately, Act Rapidly, Partner with Patients protocol. CommuniCare West Clinic adopted the AHA’s Measure Accurately, Act Rapidly, Partner with Patients protocol. Community Resource & Recreation Center of Canyon Lake adopted a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan. San Antonio Birth Doulas adopted the AHA’s Screen, Educate, Refer program, a food insecurity screening and the AHA’s produce box delivery program. SA Hope Center adopted the AHA’s Screen, Educate, Refer program, a food insecurity screening and the AHA’s produce box delivery program. SA Youth adopted the AHA’s Screen, Educate, Refer program. UT Health San Antonio Lifestyle Medicine Program adopted a food insecurity screening and the AHA’s produce box delivery program. UT Health San Antonio Family Medicine Clinic adopted the AHA’s Measure Accurately, Act Rapidly, Partner with Patients protocol WINGS adopted the AHA’s Screen, Educate, Refer program, a food insecurity screening and the AHA’s produce box delivery program. The Young Women's Leadership Academy adopted a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan. One way you can get involved in our mission is by forming (or joining) a #fundraisingteam for our CycleNation event.
