Amelyore Sante, Kick-Start Karyè:
5 Pwogram pou Enspire Chanjman
Kit ou vle amelyore pwòp sante ou – oswa lanse yon karyè kote ou ede lòt moun amelyore pa yo – nou nan Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè ak Edikasyon Medikal Gradye vle sipòte objektif ou yo.
Li pi ba a pou jwenn enfòmasyon sou pwogram kominotè ki gen posiblite pou chanje lavi yo. Gen kèk, tankou Pwogram Edikasyon Sant Edikasyon Sante Pennsilvani, ki gen entansyon pou ranfòse konpetans yo - ak rezime travay - pwofesyonèl swen sante nan lavni. Gen lòt, tankou evènman Walk with a Doc nou yo ak yon pwogram pou sispann fimen Asosyasyon Ameriken Lung, vize pou enspire moun nan vwayaj byennèt pèsonèl yo epi amelyore sante ak byennèt kominote nou yo. Koulye a, ann ale!
Pwogram Scholars
Èske w se yon etidyan kolèj ki enterese nan domèn swen sante? Oswa èske ou kounye a ale nan lekòl medikal? Pwogram Scholars la ap chèche elèv ki nan pwogram diplòm pwofesyon lasante ki enterese travay nan kominote riral yo ak nan kominote ki pa gen anpil sèvis pou aplike pou yon kou etid siplemantè entèpwofesyonèl dezan ki konsantre sou bay swen nan kominote ki gen resous limite.
Scholars will learn how other health professionals think about patient care, what various team members bring to the table in caring for patients, and how to be part of an interprofessional team. Faculty and health professionals working in rural and underserved communities will train and mentor them. Topics covered include behavioral health integration, practice transformation, and more.
Applicants from disadvantaged and/or rural backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be enrolled in a health profession training program, be in good academic standing, and be willing to commit to two years of program participation before graduation. Eligible health profession programs include, but are not limited to, medical, dental, physician assistant, pharmacy, and nursing, as well as master’s/doctorate-level social work, occupational therapy, public health programs, and Allied Health two-year programs.

Antrene pou w vin yon travayè sante kominotè
Èske w vle yon travay kòm travayè sante kominotè? Li se youn nan wòl ki gen plis demann nan swen sante jodi a. Sant Edikasyon Sante zòn Nòdès Pennsylvania ofri regilyèman yon pwogram fòmasyon akredite pou prepare moun pou pran egzamen sètifikasyon travayè sante kominotè (CHW) epi aplike pou pòs travay nan lopital, sant sante ak anviwònman sèvis sosyal.
Community health workers help people by advocating for their needs and breaking down common barriers to care, such as language differences and a lack of transportation to medical appointments. They connect patients to resources and programs available in their neighborhoods, allowing them to gain access to healthy foods, adequate housing, health insurance coverage, utility bill assistance, and other necessities.

Ale nan yon simulation povrete
Sant Edikasyon Sante zòn Nòdès Pennsylvania ofri yon pwogram simulation povrete pou ogmante konpreyansyon piblik la sou defi chak jou anpil moun ak fanmi ki pa gen revni fè fas a. Pwogram nan, ki fèt an patenarya ak Marywood University nan Scranton, fèt plizyè fwa nan yon ane. Enskripsyon obligatwa.
Chak simulation gen entansyon ede patisipan yo aprann plis sou difikilte ke kèk fanmi nan kominote nou an anjeneral rankontre pandan y ap lite de mwa an mwa pou peye pou manje nourisan, swen sante, lojman apwopriye, ak lòt nesesite debaz yo.
Pandan evènman jwe wòl la, patisipan yo asime idantite moun k ap viv nan povrete. Yo fè eksperyans presyon nan eseye detire bidjè kay yo sou yon peryòd simulation kat semèn. Simulasyon an depann sou volontè ki montre founisè sèvis sosyal ak resous, tankou bankye yo, anplwayè, pwofesè, ofisyèl lapolis, pwopriyetè, ak lòt moun. Apre simulasyon an, yo gide patisipan yo nan yon diskisyon sou eksperyans yo, pwoblèm ki antoure povrete a, ak potansyèl chanjman.

Sispann Fimen
Smoking is the world’s leading preventable cause of death. If you want to quit smoking – or someone you know wants to kick the habit – the American Lung Association’s Freedom from Smoking program can help. The program will teach you about FDA-approved medications that can help you quit, lifestyle changes to make quitting easier, coping strategies to manage stress and avoid weight gain, and how to stay tobacco-free for good. Individual sessions and/or group sessions will be determined based on the number of participants at any given time. To learn more about smoking cessation help at The Wright Center, including group classes and one-on-one help, please contact Joe Kelly at [email protected] or 570.903.0492.
