Community LINK Health Day


Image by Christiana Care
Residents and neighbors of the 1900 block of Market Street were LINKed to health services during a Community Health Day that offered the Wilmington community free and easy access to health screenings and information.

On Oct. 3, 2009, Christiana Care’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and other community partners presented the second LINK (Linking the community, Immediate health information, Navigating the road and Knocking out disparities) in a chain of opportunities to eliminate health disparities.

More than 100 residents stopped by Community Health Day. A large number took advantage of the free on-site screenings such as HIV and chronic disease screenings that included cholesterol, sugar and blood pressure. In addition, there was cancer awareness education and information available to attendees. For the kids, there was music, healthy snacks, giveaways and a moon bounce.

“Part of the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center’s mission as National Cancer Institute-selected Community Cancer Center is breaking barriers and ‘knocking out disparities,’” says Nora Katurakes, RN, MSN, OCN, Christiana Care’s manager of Community Health Outreach and Education. “What better way to do this than to partner with people in the community who know their neighbors.”

This Community Health Day LINKs Christiana Care with the Wilmington Senior Center, Greater Brandywine Village Revitalization, Market Street Pharmacy, McConnell Johnson RealEstate, LLC., City of Wilmington Parks & Recreation and other local community partners. The goal is to connect people with little or no health insurance to health care and disease prevention services.
