09/28/23: Community Health Fair Join us on September 28, 2023 for free mental, dental and medical assessments. The health residents is directly linked to the health and prosperity of the community. The health fair will provide free blood pressure testing, dental screening, STI screenings, cancer screening referrals, sexual health information, mental wellness support, dietary and healthy living support, general physical wellness exams and more. This fair was designed to provide health assessments to community members. The concept was created by Dr. C. Davis, the Principal of the Thurgood Marshall Academy to address the physical and mental health issues prevalent in our community. It’s also a way to show that we are one community supporting each other and not several separate communities blocked off by legislative lines. This event is open to the community.

At the David Development Foundation, we understand that a healthy community is a thriving community. That's why we're deeply committed to developing impactful health projects that address the specific needs of communities struggling with access to healthcare and wellness resources. Our focus goes beyond addressing immediate needs. We aim to create a lasting impact by: Identifying Gaps: We actively work with communities to understand their unique health challenges. This allows us to tailor our projects to address their most pressing needs. Promoting Preventative Care: We believe prevention is key. Our projects often include educational initiatives on healthy habits, hygiene, and disease prevention. Empowering Communities: We don't just deliver solutions, we build capacity. We work with local partners and train community health workers to ensure long-term sustainability of our projects. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life. By investing in these health projects, we're building a brighter future for generations to come. #communityhealth #DavidDevelopmentFoundation #buildingabetterfuture

It's Day 2 of National Public Health Week! #NPHW Today's focus is on healthy neighborhoods. I see this in my work A LOT. When our team conducts #needsassessments we often hear and see how the environments in which people live can create significant health inequities. This is because not everyone has the same access to: 🚰 Air and water free of pollution. 🏡 Safe places to live, without hazards like lead or smoke. 🚵♀️ Safe ways for everyone to be active, like sidewalks and safe places to bike. 🥗 Easy access to fresh, affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food. These are all critical to our health. When our environments and our neighborhoods are healthy, we have the building blocks for healthy lives. And when our environments and our neighborhoods are not healthy, it can be hugely challenging for individuals to overcome these obstacles to health by themselves. That's why #publichealth works every day to improve the environment on a SYSTEMS level, for EVERYONE. Whether it be advocating for smoke-free policies or bike lanes or healthier public school lunches, public health is all about making healthier environments and neighborhoods that benefit us all. But there are things we can each do to play our part in this collective goal! We can do things like plant trees to increase green space, get to know our neighbors for social cohesion, and support farmers' markets for fresh, local food. How do you support a healthy neighborhood? Are there systems changes you'd like to see to improve the health of your neighborhood?

Today’s focus on healthy neighborhoods during National Public Health Week resonates deeply with the essence of health equity. The disparities in access to clean air and water, safe housing, physical activity spaces, and nutritious food underscore the urgent need for systemic change. As a public health professional, I’m reminded that creating healthier neighborhoods requires a concerted effort at all levels—from individual actions to policy advocacy. By investing in community-driven solutions and prioritizing the voices of those most affected, we can build the foundations for lasting health equity. Let’s embrace the challenge to advocate for and implement changes that ensure every neighborhood supports the well-being of its residents. #NPHW #HealthEquity #HealthyNeighborhoods

Happy Public Health Week! This week, let's focus on building healthier communities together. Here are a few tips to create healthier environments in your neighborhood: ✔️ Get Active: Organize group walks, bike rides, or outdoor fitness classes to encourage physical activity and promote a healthier lifestyle. ✔️ Community Gardens: Start a community garden where neighbors can come together to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, fostering healthier eating habits and a sense of community. ✔️ Clean-Up Events: Host neighborhood clean-up days to beautify shared spaces, improve air quality, and create safer environments for everyone. ✔️ Health Education Workshops: Organize workshops on topics like nutrition, mental health, and disease prevention to empower residents with knowledge and resources to lead healthier lives. ✔️ Support Local Businesses: Patronize local farmers markets, grocery stores, and restaurants that offer healthy, locally sourced options to promote economic vitality and access to nutritious foods. Together, we can make a positive impact on public health and create communities where everyone thrives. #PublicHealthWeek #HealthyNeighborhood #SDoH #SocialDrivers #SocialDriversofHealth #Wellbeing #HealthyLiving #Community
