Integrity Urgent Care-TX’s Post

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

Last year, The Veterans Art Project (VETART.org) orchestrated a remarkable event in Sacramento, California - the Art Cafe Pop-Up. This initiative stood out as a beacon for veteran engagement, offering a platform where veterans across California could amplify their voices and forge stronger community ties through the medium of art. The event underscored the critical role of creative expression in combating isolation and facilitating veterans' smoother transition into civilian life. From Ehren Tool's poignant ceramic cups to Tonya Savice's journey of discovery in art as a therapeutic outlet, each participant brought their unique narrative to the forefront, demonstrating the profound capacity of art to heal and communicate. 🎨 Key Highlights: Ehren Tool, a USMC veteran, showcased his cups, a project since 2001, emphasizing the connection and shared experiences among veterans. Tonya Savice reflected on art as a vital tool for mental wellness and self-expression. Artworks ranged from wearable art by Carolina Hernandez to "Boots in Transition" by Phyllis Thomas, each telling a story of transition, resilience, and hope. The event also featured collaborative activities like drum circles, emphasizing the importance of collective healing and shared stories. We're grateful for the support from the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission (MHSOAC), enabling us to reach and uplift veterans throughout California. This video is a testament to the Veterans Art Project's mission to use art as a bridge for veterans transitioning back into civilian life, highlighting the undeniable impact of creative outlets in fostering mental health and community integration. 👉 For professionals interested in supporting veteran communities or exploring the intersection of art and wellness, this video serves as a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together. #VeteransArtProject #VeteranSupport #ArtTherapy #CommunityEngagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #MentalHealthAwareness

Access to affordable healthcare is a struggle for many Americans, but the challenge can be even greater for people living in rural communities. Aaron E. Henry Community Health Services Center, Inc. is literally a lifeline for residents of the Mississippi Delta Region. Recognizing that clinical healthcare services contribute to just 20% of a person's overall health and wellbeing, the Center is leading the Region in establishing a Coordinated System of Care that will connect their patients to an array of social care services. The initiative is being supported by an array of funders and partners committed to addressing the specific rural healthcare needs including Clinton Global Initiative University, Direct Relief, Delta Population Health Institute, Southern Bancorp, and the University of Arkansas ­- Sam M. Walton College of Business.

Fast Approaching - Legal Essentials for Caring for your Aging Parents. A Chance to learn more and have the dialogues before you need them. Check your calendar Monday November 13th at 6:00 pm. The goal is to be prepared with not only documents but knowledge to be able to easily step in when you are needed. This year I have had many families that either had Trusts that needed updated and reviewed or did not have any documents at all. This caused more work at a quicker pace to allow the family to step in help their parent. If family dynamics are an issue, which is also happening more and more, this should be discussed and addressed in planning. The goal is to center on the parents in need and be able to quickly assess their options. Please tell others that might want to learn more and to see Maplewood Long Term Care in Twinsburg. It helps to have looked at options and have your questions answered before having to need to use them. Maplewood is respectful and engages their residents. I hope we will see you next Monday at 6 pm. #estateplanning #forwardthinking #proactiveapproach
