Mipango ya Afya
Kuboresha Afya, Kazi za Kuanza:
Programu 5 za Kuhamasisha Mabadiliko
Iwe unataka kuboresha afya yako mwenyewe - au kuzindua taaluma ambayo unawasaidia wengine kuboresha zao - sisi katika Vituo vya Wright vya Afya ya Jamii na Elimu ya Matibabu ya Wahitimu tunataka kuunga mkono malengo yako.
Soma hapa chini kwa habari kuhusu programu za kijamii zenye uwezo wa kubadilisha maisha. Baadhi, kama Mpango wa Wasomi wa Kituo cha Elimu cha Afya cha Eneo la Pennsylvania, unakusudiwa kuongeza ujuzi - na wasifu wa kazi - wa wataalamu wa afya wa siku zijazo. Nyingine, kama vile matukio yetu ya Kutembea na Hati na mpango wa Kukomesha uvutaji wa Chama cha Mapafu cha Marekani, hulenga kuhamasisha watu binafsi katika safari zao za afya na kuboresha afya na ustawi wa jumuiya zetu. Sasa, twende!
Mpango wa Wasomi
Je, wewe ni mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu anayevutiwa na uwanja wa huduma ya afya? Au kwa sasa unasoma shule ya matibabu? Mpango wa Wasomi hutafuta wanafunzi katika programu za digrii ya taaluma ya afya ambao wana nia ya kufanya kazi katika jamii za vijijini na ambazo hazijahudumiwa ili kutuma maombi ya kozi ya ziada ya miaka miwili ya taaluma, inayolenga kutoa utunzaji katika jamii zilizo na rasilimali chache.
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.

Pata mafunzo ya kuwa mfanyakazi wa afya ya jamii
Je, unataka kazi kama mfanyakazi wa afya ya jamii? Ni mojawapo ya majukumu yanayohitajika sana katika huduma za afya leo. Kituo cha Elimu ya Afya cha Eneo la Kaskazini-mashariki la Pennsylvania hutoa mara kwa mara mpango wa mafunzo ulioidhinishwa ili kuwatayarisha watu binafsi kufanya mtihani wa uthibitisho wa mhudumu wa afya ya jamii (CHW) na kutuma maombi ya nafasi za kazi katika hospitali, vituo vya afya na mipangilio ya huduma za kijamii.
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.

Hudhuria simulizi ya umaskini
Kituo cha Elimu ya Afya cha Eneo la Kaskazini-mashariki la Pennsylvania hutoa mpango wa kuiga umaskini ili kuongeza uelewa wa umma kuhusu changamoto za kila siku zinazowakabili watu na familia nyingi za kipato cha chini. Mpango huo, unaofanywa kwa ushirikiano na Chuo Kikuu cha Marywood huko Scranton, hufanyika mara kadhaa kwa mwaka. Usajili unahitajika.
Kila uigaji unakusudiwa kuwasaidia washiriki kujifunza zaidi kuhusu matatizo ambayo baadhi ya familia katika jumuiya yetu kwa kawaida hupata wanapotatizika mwezi hadi mwezi kulipia chakula bora, huduma za afya, makazi bora na mahitaji mengine ya kimsingi.
Wakati wa tukio la kuigiza, washiriki huchukua utambulisho wa watu wanaoishi katika umaskini. Wanapata shinikizo la kujaribu kupanua bajeti zao za kaya katika kipindi cha wiki nne kilichoigwa. Uigaji huo unategemea watu wanaojitolea wanaoonyesha watoa huduma za kijamii na rasilimali, wakiwemo mabenki, waajiri, walimu, maafisa wa kutekeleza sheria, wamiliki wa nyumba na wengineo. Baada ya mwigo, washiriki wanaongozwa katika mjadala kuhusu uzoefu wao, masuala yanayozunguka umaskini, na uwezekano wa mabadiliko.

Acha Kuvuta Sigara
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.
