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 ca

n 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.

Infant mortality is more than a statistic—it’s families, dreams, and futures cut far too short. In the United States, too many babies don’t make it to their first year, and many of these losses are preventable with access to care, education, and community support.

We can all play a role:
✨ Support mothers before, during, and after pregnancy
✨ Advocate for equitable healthcare access
✨ Share safe sleep and infant care education
✨ Show up for families in our communities

Healthy beginnings lead to hopeful futures. Let’s work together to ensure every child has the chance to grow, thrive, and be loved beyond their first year. 💛

🌸 Spring Cleaning Isn’t Just for Your Home… It’s for Your Mind Too 🧠✨

As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to reset—not just your space, but your mental well-being.

💭 Start by checking in with yourself:
• How are your emotions lately?
• Are you feeling connected—or overwhelmed?
• Are your coping habits helping or hurting?

🧹 Clear out the mental clutter:
• Let go of unrealistic “shoulds”
• Set healthy boundaries
• Practice self-compassion (you deserve it!)

🤝 And remember—you don’t have to do it alone.
If things feel heavy or persistent, reaching out for support is a strong and powerful step.

💚 Your mental health matters. Take time this season to refresh, reset, and care for YOU.
