OUTREACH TEAM BRINGS PREVENTIVE CARE AND EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY
The OneWorld Outreach team acts as a bridge between the community and health care system by providing education, resources and services. The team focuses on issues like cardiovascular and behavioral health; obesity; diabetes; disease prevention and education; youth engagement; and early childhood development. In 2024, the team celebrated community health successes, including: Record attendance at ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® This annual event focusing on Hispanic family physical activity and healthy lifestyles drew 3,000 attendees – an all-time high for OneWorld. Leading the way in Diabetes Prevention programs:
OneWorld’s 26-session program helps participants move out of the “risk zone” for developing diabetes. Offered in Spanish and English, these classes have proved so successful that OneWorld advised the American Diabetes Association on complete program delivery. Addition of a nurse: The team grew to include
Outreach Nurse Elizabeth Silva, who was instrumental in growing vaccine numbers at OneWorld’s Mexican Consulate Health Window. Having a dedicated nurse in Outreach helped increase patient referrals for care to OneWorld.
