Thanks for elevating equity across systems, especially in healthcare!

It's sunny in Texas and that's perfect for National Walking Day! Today is a great opportunity to engage family, friends, and neighbors in a walk around the neighborhood or area park. Connecting with others and being active are key components of a healthy life. However, we know that many Texans just don't have the same opportunities to get out and be active. From missing sidewalks to unsafe parks, non-medical factors can have a direct impact on a person's health and well-being. That's why Episcopal Health Foundation supports solutions than promote equity and address non-medical drivers of health across the state. Part of that work includes helping community organizations push for policy improvements at all levels. Seemingly simple changes like the addition of sidewalks and safer pedestrian areas can make a considerable difference in daily physical activity levels and community health. So, as we walk today -- we're continuing our efforts to improve #HealthNotJustHealthCare in Texas! Fit Houston #Walk30 #HOUwalk

Today, I had my first session as a Community Health Fellow. Overall, it was engaging. The resource person touched on some intricate aspects of community health and in general public health principles. One aspect that fascinated me was when he talked about strategies for effective community engagement. After a brief and concise presentation on community, my curiosity sparked. Thus making me want to a question. So I raised my hand and asked. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒈𝒆? Here came his response : ✨ Be concerned about the challenge the community is facing. ✨Show genuine interest in giving solutions to their problems. ✨ Practise Empathy ✨ Carry out a need assessment by knowing what the community needs. ✨ Employ the pillars of primary health care (PHC): accessibility, affordability, and use of technology to harness contact between you and the community. Overall, it was an educating session.I look forward to utilizing these skills as a CHC Fellow #CHCFelllow #DISH

Person centred care and why it is important Do you have a care folder full of care plans for every care need put in a locked cupboard written by you as a manager? Or do you have a file that encapsulates the life, choices and preferences of the person supported in a format that they want, written and contributed by them 🤔 Each person is unique, every person needs to be included in how they would like their support carried out. What are their goals, what is their history, what makes them who they are and how do they like their care even down to the finest detail. Is the person supported involved in their care plan? #notjustanothercareconsultancy #swvcareconsultancy #community #life

August is Civic Health Month, a nationwide celebration held to showcase the strengthening relationship between health care, healthy communities, and civic participation. Civic health refers to how communities come together to identify and address public issues, as defined by the National Conference on Citizenship. It is measured through social connections, community involvement, and political participation. The Wisconsin 2024 Civic Health Challenge encourages residents to actively contribute to their community's civic health through daily challenges centered on four themes: social connection, community connection, voting, and political engagement. https://lnkd.in/gSJ4KSrW
