SDOH Hubs Grant Awardee- SPOTLIGHT!

"Smart Bites — Building Healthy Habits for Life
The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing’s Smart Bites program helps youth learn the value of nutrition, cooking, and healthy decision-making through fun, hands-on lessons. Each week, Club members explore new recipes, practice measuring and preparing ingredients, and discuss how balanced eating can support their energy, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Supported by the Ingham County Health Department’s SDOH Hubs grant, Smart Bites bridges the gap between education and access — giving young people the tools and confidence to make nutritious choices and share what they learn with their families. By turning cooking into a creative and empowering experience, the program encourages youth to build lifelong healthy habits that extend far beyond the kitchen.

“Programs like Smart Bites help our members gain confidence in the kitchen and understand how healthy choices can fuel their goals — on the field, in the classroom, and beyond,” said Joseph Yang, President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Lansing."

Not all CO poisonings are sudden.

Acute poisoning occurs quickly, such as when a car is left running in a garage or a generator is used too close to a home.
Chronic exposure, on the other hand, happens slowly, over days or even months, often from low-level CO leaks in appliances or heating systems.

The symptoms, headaches, fatigue, and memory problems are easy to miss or misdiagnose. That’s why awareness, alarms, and regular checks are so important.

SDOH Hubs Grant Awardee- SPOTLIGHT!

"The Eaton County Human Services Collaborative Council (HSCC), in partnership with the Clinton County Building Stronger Communities Collaborative (BSCC), the Ingham County Power of WE Consortium, and the Regional Housing Partnership, is proud to announce the successful launch of MICapitalCares.org a regional effort designed to strengthen connections between residents and essential community resources.
Funded through the State of Michigan Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Hubs initiative, this project marks the first time all three county collaboratives have joined forces to build shared tools that promote equitable access to basic needs such as housing, food, transportation, and employment.

At the heart of the initiative is MICapitalCares.org, a new, user-friendly online hub developed in partnership with Central Michigan 211 and the Capital Cares Workgroup, which includes frontline workers and residents from across the tri-county region. The website makes it easier for residents and service providers to find and update local resources, post community events, and stay connected to support networks that improve well-being.

RSV isn’t “just a cold,” and older adults are at high risk. Getting the RSV vaccine helps protect older adults from pneumonia, hospitalization, and even death from RSV. Check with your health care provider to see if you need an RSV vaccine.

El VRS no es “simplemente un resfriado”, y los adultos mayores tienen mayor riesgo de contraerlo. Obtener la vacuna contra el VRS ayuda a proteger a los adultos mayores de la neumonía, la hospitalización e incluso la muerte por VRS. Habla con tu proveedor de atención médica para ver si necesitas obtener una vacuna contra el VRS.
