Community health and wellness took center stage at the Moore Food & Resource Center on an unassuming morning, where the Cleveland County Health Department pitched in to offer residents a helping hand. In an effort to bolster public health, their team provided SoonerCare enrollment assistance alongside no-cost flu shots. This pivotal initiative reached out to community members, ensuring they had access to both health coverage and preventative care, a significant step in fostering a healthier population.
The Cleveland County Health Department expressed gratitude towards all who visited the center. “Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Moore Food & Resource Center this morning!” they posted on the Cleveland County Health Department social media. The department highlighted the efforts of their Community Health Worker (CHW) and Mobile Wellness Unit Nurse, crucial figures in the day's success. Their work with the Regional Food Bank symbolizes a partnership focused on nourishment of both the body and community health.
In collaboration with the Regional Food Bank, the Cleveland County Health Department extends its services beyond traditional confines, reaching out into the community and creating spaces of support and care. This partnership, as they noted, is an avenue to meaningfully serve those around them, reflecting a commitment to well-rounded community support systems. As winter approaches, the flu shots not only offer protection against the flu but also signify a proactive stance against potential outbreaks.
