接受社区保健员培训
您想成为一名社区保健工作者吗？这是当今医疗保健领域最紧缺的职位之一。宾夕法尼亚州东北部地区健康教育中心（Northeast Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center）定期提供经认可的培训计划，帮助个人参加社区健康工作者（CHW）认证考试，并申请医院、健康中心和社会服务机构的职位空缺。
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.

参加贫困模拟活动
宾夕法尼亚州东北部地区健康教育中心（Northeast Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center）提供了一项贫困模拟计划，以增进公众对许多低收入个人和家庭所面临的日常挑战的了解。该项目与位于斯克兰顿的玛丽伍德大学（Marywood University）合作开展，每年举办数次。需要注册。
每次模拟活动都旨在帮助参与者更多了解我们社区中的一些家庭在为营养膳食、医疗保健、适当住房和其他基本必需品而月复一月地挣扎时通常会遇到的困难。
在角色扮演活动中，参与者扮演生活贫困的个人。在为期四周的模拟活动中，他们会体验到家庭预算捉襟见肘的压力。模拟活动依靠志愿者扮演社会服务和资源提供者，包括银行家、雇主、教师、执法人员、房东等。模拟活动结束后，引导参与者讨论他们的经历、与贫困有关的问题以及改变的可能性。

戒烟
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.
