🎗️ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — and our Safety Net Health Equity Fellow, Dr. Charys Demery, is spreading education and hope throughout our community! 💪💖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On Saturday, October 19, Dr. Demery joined the 1st NOVA Ghanaian SDA Church for their Breast Cancer Awareness Event. She led an empowering presentation on prevention and screening, and connected directly with attendees through an informational table filled with resources, services, and educational handouts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to VitaQuest and for donating children and adult multivitamins to support community health. Partnerships like these help us make a real difference! 🤝🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dr. Demery continues to shine as a champion for health equity — educating, advocating, and inspiring action to save lives. 🌟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together, we raise awareness. Together, we empower. Together, we fight. 💗

🌟 November is ADHD Awareness Month! 🌟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, we had the pleasure of visiting the Lorton Community Center to empower seniors with knowledge about ADHD — including signs, symptoms, and management strategies. Many attendees shared personal connections to ADHD and were eager to learn more. 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A huge success all around… especially with our fun fidget spinner giveaways! 🌀✨

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A nationally recognized advocate and leader, Dr. John brings deep expertise in precision medicine, patient engagement, and health disparities. He serves on several boards—including the NAFC and the Virginia Association of Free & Charitable Clinics—and has been honored nationally for advancing access to care for vulnerable communities. 💙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎤 Presentation Title: Chopped: The Free & Charitable Clinic Version
Step into the “clinic kitchen” for this interactive, fast-paced session inspired by the TV show Chopped! Participants faced real-world clinic challenges with limited “ingredients” and collaborated to create innovative solutions—proving that even with modest resources, clinics can still serve up extraordinary outcomes for their communities. 👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️🍲

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her presentation, “Lost in Translation: Effective Healthcare Communication,” explored how language barriers can lead to serious miscommunication in healthcare — from misunderstood medication instructions to unclear treatment plans.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through real-world examples and practical strategies, Dr. Demery empowered healthcare professionals to bridge these gaps and improve outcomes for linguistically diverse patients. 🌍🩺

We are so grateful to have held a Women’s Cancer Prevention and Screening Workshop on Wednesday, October 15th, at Dar Al-Hijrah! 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible presenters, Dr. Nazaneen and Dr. Lamba, for delivering vital health education in the community’s native language. Your knowledge, compassion, and clarity made a lasting impact.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also extend our deepest appreciation to the INOVA Saville team for your continued partnership and the engaging models and demonstrations that helped participants connect to the material in such a meaningful way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📊 Pre- and post-workshop surveys showed participants found the session highly beneficial, with many sharing how much they learned and appreciated the opportunity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition, our team prepared self-care kits for all women attendees 💕 Each kit included women’s vitamins, lip therapy Vaseline, travel-size tissue packets, lotion, and aluminum-free deodorant — small but meaningful items to promote everyday wellness and self-care.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re excited that the women who attended will now be connected to preventive care services such as Pap smears and mammograms through INOVA — a crucial step in promoting early detection and health equity for refugee and underserved populations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together, we’re empowering women with knowledge, care, and hope. 💕

✨ October is ADHD Awareness Month! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This month is dedicated to raising awareness about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) — promoting understanding, compassion, and support for individuals and families affected by this condition.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today, October 14th, our NSC team visited the Wellness Center for Older Adults (WCOA) at Braddock Glen, where we presented on ADHD — covering an overview, symptoms, and management strategies to help increase awareness and understanding. 💡

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As a fun giveaway, participants received fidget spinners 🌀 — a hit during our workshop activity, a word search on ADHD terms!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We love visiting WCOA each month and can’t wait to return next month to present on Alzheimer’s Disease in honor of National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. 💜
