Minority Health Coalition of Tippecanoe at Hanna Center

Minority Health Coalition of Tippecanoe at Hanna Center Our objective is to target racial and ethnic minorities in the Greater Lafayette Area and its surrounding communities.

Target population are African American, Hispanic/Latino, and our two vulnerable groups, seniors, and children. The Hanna Health Initiative seeks to improve the health and well-being of its ever-growing population of racial and ethnic minority populations by implementing programs, services, and activities that aim to educate and make communities aware of targeted health priorities and steps that can be taken to improve their overall health. Currently, minorities continue to suffer more from preventable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, and diabetes than non-minorities. It is Hanna's Health program goal to implement programs and services to address topics to help reduce barriers while improving health outcomes. Nuestros objetivos son: incentivar el cuidado de salud oral, Prevenir las enfermedades cardiovasculares y prevenir la obesidad.

The holidays pose challenges for diabetes management due to rich foods, but with planning, people with diabetes can stay healthy by using the Plate Method (half veggies, quarter protein, quarter carbs), not skipping meals, choosing healthier swaps (like spices over sugar), staying active with walks, and being mindful of alcohol, focusing on connections over food to keep blood sugar stable.

Snowy weather can negatively impact mental health through the decrease of sunlight, which can cause fatigue, mood changes, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). However, snow days can also be beneficial, offering opportunities for stress reduction through activities like being outdoors, connecting with others, and enjoying the peaceful, quiet sound of falling snow.
