Food insecurity is a growing concern across Pinellas County. We are honored to work with Daystar Life Center, Inc. through our #projecttryton initiative. According to Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap 2020 study, which used data from 2018: Pinellas County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.2% (124,430 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.1% (38,080 children) Hillsborough County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.6% (178,820 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.5% (61,600 children) It's important to note that these numbers are from before the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely exacerbated food insecurity in these counties and across the United States. Feeding America projected that the overall food insecurity rate for the United States could have reached up to 15.6% in 2020 due to the economic impact of the pandemic. #endhunger

A few weeks ago, I came across a post about the United Nations General Assembly’s Arts and Health week in NYC. Being the curious person I am, I couldn’t help but sign up! The first event I attended was a panel discussion at Lincoln Center on arts and health policy. It was a good conversation that left me thinking about how arts and health are already working together to make real change, and how much more impact it can make with increased funding and recognition. Next, I participated in an Art Observation Workshop at the Whitney Museum, where we explored how healthcare facilities are using the arts to support their staff’s well-being. It was refreshing to see arts in action, making a tangible difference in the workplace. What I loved most was that the focus wasn’t on whether art can help people, it was all about how it’s already happening. Since the 2022 executive order, the momentum around arts and health has been growing, and now it’s about pushing that forward and making it sustainable. For organizations, not just those in healthcare, there’s a real opportunity here: Are you considering how the arts can support your team’s well-being? For arts organizations, have you engaged your staff through artistic opportunities? It’s not just about creativity for creativity’s sake, these programs can reduce burnout, boost morale, and create a healthier workplace environment. It’s powerful stuff. A great alternative to happy hours! Or you can just include the wine! I’m so excited to be part of these conversations and to see how arts and health will continue to intersect and evolve beyond its sector. https://lnkd.in/eTFjP5aP

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), has unveiled a robust series of initiatives aimed at addressing the critical and longstanding shortage of direct care professionals. This workforce, the backbone of support for older adults and people with disabilities, is crucial for enabling millions to live with dignity in their communities rather than in institutional settings. The new measures, part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s broader efforts to bolster the nation’s caregiving infrastructure, promise a significant step forward in ensuring accessible, quality care for some of society’s most vulnerable.

Parkinson’s patients continue to grow in number. Visibility to this disease is seen in all aspects of our lives. Today Parkinson’s can be very normal work conversation when it wasn’t before. Celebrity death talk at the water cooler frequently includes the word Parkinson’s. Think about your work for a minute. Does your organization have a focus on disability awareness and advocacy? Really ? Does it? Do you have a Parkinson’s Hero in your organization? Many of us are always looking for things to get behind. Why not get behind your team. Does it make sense to give a Hero walk a go. Participation in these Hero walks just might be a way to communicate and strengthen your support both internally and in your communities. We are participating in the Grand Rapids Hero walk. Need a team to join. We are listed in the choices. We would love for all to join us in person or in spirit. It is a fun day. Give it some thought and hope to see you there.
