Hey there NPN Family! We wanted to share some info about Community Health Workers (CHWs), who are an important part of the community health infrastructure.
CHWs act as the bridge between the community and healthcare services, while addressing access, language and transportation-related barriers. CHWs are often trusted members of their community, who can relate to residents on a cultural level! ✊🏾
CHWs can help our communities grow stronger by encouraging healthier habits among residents, informing community members, and reducing overall healthcare costs!
Happy Sunday NPN Family! Today we’re sharing “Black Health, Black Liberation”, a short infographic discussing the role of mutual aid & community health in our fight for justice.
As we all know, health disparities have a major impact on our communities. Inaccessible services and low quality care can prevent us from building a healthy future. Mutual aid & Community-led healthcare are two tools that we can use to uplift both ourselves and our communities! ✊🏾
Natural Path Nutrition is dedicated to supporting health initiatives that center the needs of Black communities. Do you know any organizations that are helping building a healthier future? Comment them down below! ⬇️
This past Saturday, NPN was double booked!! We partnered with The Puddle Project, a nonprofit organization that supports pregnant teens and teenage mothers. Executive Director, Lauren Materre, MS, CNC conducted a nutrition workshop complete with a healthy cooking demonstration and our signature healthy drinks. The teen moms were also gifted mini, portable blenders to make healthy juices and smoothies.
NPN also supported the fundraiser for The Magnificent Mile Chapter of Jack and Jill. We provided a healthy living/eating workshop, one of our signature healthy drinks, and chapter members signed up for 20 minute nutrition consultations. Thankful and grateful to continue our health and wellness mission in the communities we serve.
