At Christian Action for Renewal & Development (CARD), we view healthcare as a shared mission rather than an individual concern. We strive to create a healthier, more inclusive community where each person, irrespective of age, can achieve optimal health and well-being.
Why It Matters
In today's busy world, healthcare can often be confusing and full of obstacles. This is especially true for vulnerable groups like seniors, who may find it difficult to navigate a complicated system. We know this is a problem, and we're doing something about it.
What We Do
We don't run a healthcare center, but we help in other ways. Our focus is on community-oriented initiatives that empower individuals. Our key programs include:
● Health Tips and Info: Easy-to-understand advice and talks on staying healthyalong with informational resources on critical health topics.
● Help with Public Health Programs: Personalized assistance to help seniors understand and access public health programs and benefits they qualify for.
● Community Health Events: We hold events where people can get health advice and screenings.
● Advocacy: Collaborating with healthcare professionals, government bodies, and other organizations to promote health equity.
How To Help
Every helping hand makes our mission more achievable. Here's how you can contribute:
● Donate: Funds are directed towards educational programs, health fairs, and advocacy efforts.
● Volunteer: Whether you're a healthcare professional or just someone passionate about wellness, your time and expertise can make a significant difference.
● Advocate: Use your voice and platform to spread the word about our initiatives and to garner more community support. The more people know, the more we can do.
What We're Doing Now
We're already in the thick of action! Currently, we’re:
● Giving online or in person talks on things like healthy eating, mental health and preventative care.
● Assisting seniors with enrollment in healthcare plans and safety-net programs.
● Planning free health screenings at community events.
Join us in making healthcare a community success story. Your support can change lives, and together, we can create a community that's not just surviving, but thriving.
