The American Heart Association hosts inaugural summit on social determinants of health; addresses barriers and solutions to healthy living and wellbeing in urban communities

0

DALLAS, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, hosted its inaugural EmPOWERED To Serve™ Summit in Washington, D.C. on October 17 and 18. As part of the Association’s EmPOWERED To Serve movement, which was developed to build a sustainable culture of health in diverse communities across America, leading experts and thought-leaders convened to discuss and address:

  • Community transformation and the root causes that impact social determinants of health.
  • Why and how your zip code may increase your risk of stroke, high blood pressure and other types of heart disease.
  • Engaging unconventional partners to drive creative solutions for collaborative health impact.

According to the Association, individual behaviors aren’t the only factors that affect health. Community environments play a determining role in health outcomes. People living just five miles apart can have a difference in life expectancy of more than 20 years. That’s why the Association will collaborate with a variety of organizations to create solutions to our  communities’ most complex social issues through collective impact.

Additionally, as a part of the summit, 10 finalists in the American Heart Association’s EmPOWERED To Serve Urban Business Storytelling Competition, which sought innovative solutions to remove barriers to health and wellbeing, presented innovative, urban business solutions to a judging panel. Three winners were selected to receive financial awards ranging from $10,000 to $30,000:

  • First Place, $30,000: Nyasha Nyamapfene of Gospel Run (Chicago) partners with the faith community to create a culture of health via organized walks and runs.
  • Second Place, $20,000: Maria Rose Belding of MEANS Database (Philadelphia) uses technology to move excess food to communities in need.
  • Third Place, $10,000: Cecil Wilson of GoffersGotIt (Chicago), which is an on-demand delivery service that connects people to services and access to products and income opportunities.

The competition winners will now have an opportunity to implement their business solution in their selected community, partnering with local American Heart Association offices for assistance.

“The EmPOWERED To Serve Summit and Urban Business Storytelling Competition are opportunities for companies, organizations and individuals to help influence and drive community change,” said Rhonda Ford Chatmon, American Heart Association vice president of Health Initiatives, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate, which hosted the two-day event. “This event was designed to bring people together to identify solutions. When we focus and each bring our own talents and ideas to the table, we can truly make a difference. We assembled leaders this week to strengthen their alliance with the AHA, transferring what we discussed into meaningful action for the communities we are serving. Putting our thoughts and words into practice will ultimately deliver a sustainable culture of health and wellbeing.”

ARLINGTON, Virginia, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), the nation’s leading healthcare organization dedicated to bone health, today announced the launch of its new Spanish website, www.huesosanos.org . The new website offers the same expert information that is available from NOF’s English website, www.nof.org.

National Osteoporosis Foundation. (PRNewsFoto/National Osteoporosis Foundation)

NOF’s most recent prevalence report showed that 2.5 million Mexican-Americans suffer from osteoporosis and low bone mass. The prevalence report used 2010 U.S. census information for its population reporting, so only people of Mexican descent could be identified within the Hispanic community residing in the country. The impact of osteoporosis on the Hispanic population nationwide is likely far greater.

“We are very pleased to be able to provide essential information about bone health and the prevention, management and treatment of osteoporosis in Spanish to reach Hispanic audiences in the United States,” said Amy Porter, Executive Director and CEO of NOF. “With two million broken bones caused by osteoporosis each year, it is critical that we reach out to all women and men with clear information about the importance of bone health. It is also very important that this information be available in a culturally sensitive language.”

To create www.huesosanos.org , NOF partnered with Farmacopea, Inc., an independent minority-owned and women-owned agency with the mission of promoting culturally engaging Hispanic health education and health related quality of life. Farmacopoea aims to provide culturally understandable information for patients who speak Spanish and the people responsible for their care. They also create communications geared to health professionals.

The www.huesosanos.org website was made possible through support from Amgen, Inc.

In addition to the website, NOF also translated its publication, the Clinicians Guide to the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis to Spanish and created a series of videos in Spanish that will focus on important information about osteoporosis. The main objective of this effort is to provide educational information on osteoporosis in Spanish that is easy to understand and respectful of the Hispanic culture.

About the National Osteoporosis Foundation 
Established in 1984, the National Osteoporosis Foundation is the nation’s leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life and reducing human suffering through programs of awareness, education, advocacy and research.

Recently called “America’s Best Sedan” by Car & Driver magazine, all Accords showcase new styling with increased focus on stance and proportion while benefitting from an all-new platform with a more rigid and lightweight body, a sophisticated new chassis and a longer wheelbase that contributes to a more spacious cabin with class-leading rear legroom. New standard features on all models include LED headlight and taillights, dual-zone climate control, 7-inch customizable digital driver’s meter and the full suite of Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technologies including new Traffic Sign Recognition.

Antonia Novello, MD, MPH, DrPh, Calls for an Emergency Immunization Fund in Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Antonia Novello, MD, MPH, DrPh, the first Puerto Rican and Hispanic Surgeon General of the United States, and Commissioner of Health for the State of New York in 2001 during the September 11th terrorist attacks, requests U.S. and international aid through donations that would increase the supply of necessary vaccines to be administered to the Island’s residents. Donations may be sent through the Emergency Immunization Fund at www.youcaring.com/immunizationpr.

In Puerto Rico, 90% of the inventory of vaccines has had to be discarded due to lack of electricity and flooding, because they do not fulfill the protocol and specifications established by the manufacturers. The distribution of vaccines to the Island has also been affected because the necessary cold chain cannot be guaranteed.

“Following the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria over Puerto Rico, the current situation has increased the risk of contagion from infectious diseases among the population. Vaccination is the first line of defense for diseases that we can prevent. With 80% vaccination we can control outbreaks, endemics and an epidemic of any preventable disease through immunization,” Dr. Novello explained.

The Fund, established by Novello for VOCES, The Vaccination Coalition of Puerto Rico, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that promotes immunization and preventive care, is seeking help to acquire vaccines, support the vaccination centers in Puerto Rico and their infrastructure, as well as to develop a mobile unit that will take the vaccinations all over the Island, including areas that have not had access to the outside or main urban areas.

“Maintaining the vaccination system in Puerto Rico today is an uphill struggle. We need to protect our people, so they must have access to vaccinations. Together with VOCES, I am asking you to help us with prevention. Influenza, tetanus, hepatitis A and B, pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis B are some of the diseases for which there is a preventative vaccine,” Novello added.

The Immunization Emergency Fund will help VOCES provide immediate vaccinations to people who do not have access to them. You may make your donation through www.youcaring.com/immunizationpr. For more information on VOCES, The Vaccination Coalition of Puerto Rico, please call 787-789-4008, or find us on Facebook at VocesPR.org.

VOCES, The Vaccination Coalition of Puerto Rico, is a non-profit organization that is comprised of more than forty organizations in the healthcare field, community groups, and individuals, whose mission is to bring awareness and provide education on the importance of vaccination. It also promotes vaccinations, which are the frontline in fighting preventable diseases that can affect the quality of life and health in Puerto Rico. The objective of the Coalition is to protect the residents of Puerto Rico through immunization, to promote health and to protect life, preventing contagious diseases.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Throughout the year, the University of Guadalajara has offered the people of Los Angeles a wide variety of cultural events through the University of Guadalajara Foundation USA and Cultura UDG. These events included a Mexican Folkloric Ballet, film seminars and plenty of theatrical performances, all with the end goal of spreading and promoting Mexican culture in the United States. However, the big guns have been saved for the final months of 2017, particularly during the Guadalajara International Film Festival in Los Angeles (FICG in LA) which will take place from November 2-5.

On November 4th a seminar aimed at film students, industry insiders, and fans of the cinematic arts alike will be offered, titled VR the Future of Cinematography. The seminar will be led by Michael Mansouri, the co-founder of Radiant Images, who has become one of the most informed figures in the VR industry in relation to the topic, as well as someone who has experience with both augmented reality and stereoscopic 3D. A member of the American Society of Cinematographers, Mansouri received the Mario award in 2013 for his contribution to technical advancements in the industry and in 2016 he was included in Studio Daily’s inaugural list of the most influential technicians and creatives in film.  He has also worked as a digital technician on Iron Man 2, G.I. Joe the Rise of the Cobra and 127 Hours. The seminar will be conducted from 10am to 4pm at Radiant Images headquarters, 2702 Media Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90065 and will cost $150 per person. Those interested can register at www.culturarewards.com/artsla.

On November 28th, a masterclass on screenwriting and filmmaking will take place from 10am to 4pm. The class will be helmed by renowned novelist and Academy Award nominated screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga, where the author of Night Buffalo, A Sweet Scent of Death and Guillotine Squad will deconstruct his theory on how the number one rule for writing a screenplay is understanding the lack of rules. Aimed towards industry professionals, film students and amateurs looking to develop their stories, those in attendance will learn about non-linear construction, character development, the dramatic goal and the keys to creating narrative. Arriaga is the writer behind Academy Award nominated films such as Amores perros, 21 Grams, and Babel, for which he received an Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nomination, as well as The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which won the Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival. He also wrote and directed The Burning Plain, starring Charlize Theron. The Venezuelan production From Afar, which won the Golden Lion for Best Picture 2 years ago at the Venice Film Festival, was based on a story Arriaga created with the film’s director, Lorenzo Vigas.  The master class will be held in English at LATC, 514 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013, and will be priced at $200 per person. Those interested in attending can register at www.culturarewards.com/artsla.

Finally on December 4th, the 50 de Cien monologue will be presented as part of the Living Books Series and will star actor Rodrigo Murray, who has worked in Academy Award nominated films such as Amores perros, Rabbit on the Moon, El cumple de la abuela, and most recently on Carlos Bolado’s 3 idiotas among others. Written by Fernando Javier León Rodríguez, co-writer behind the brilliant Herod’s Law, as well as The Last Train, On Childhood y The Attemp Dossier, the lecture proposes a bold idea. On stage, the actor literally becomes Gabriel García Márquez’s legendary novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, sharing the adventures it’s gone through since its first couple of lines, its feelings on being read, as well as its relationship with the author. The lecture in Spanish will be presented in the Mark Taper Auditorium within the Los Angeles Central Library. Tickets are free and can be reserved at www.culturarewards.com/artsla.
