About the Event:
Rockhurst students Dayanara Zamora and Sarah Joseph are hosting a community health fair for underrepresented communities in Kansas City.
Organizations tabling include nonprofit community organizations, health science partners at Rockhurst University, and basic screening services from local centers and clinics. Rockhurst University and Andrews McMeel Universal sponsor this event.
Health care systems in the U.S. are facing a growing responsibility to improve DEI efforts. Specific factors that prevent individuals from accessing health care include lack of insurance, financial instability, lack of resources to transfer from primary to specialized care, and cultural/language barriers. To help address this, a project was developed that involves two components: conducting survey research on the health care inequities in Kansas City and conducting a health care fair for Kansas City residents.
Estudiantes de Rockhurst University, Dayanara Zamora y Sarah Joseph, van ofrecer una feria de salud sin ningún costo para comunidades con falta de servicios de atención médica.
Las organizaciones que van a ofrecer sus servicios incluyen organizaciones no lucrativas, programas de Health Sciences asociados con Rockhurst University, y servicios básicos de salud. Todo es totalmente gratuito.
Los sistemas de salud en Estados Unidos enfrentan una responsabilidad cada vez mayor para mejorar los esfuerzos en la diversidad, equidad, y la inclusión (DEI). Algunos factores que impiden que las personas tengan acceso a la atención médica incluyen la falta de seguro médico, la inestabilidad financiera, la falta de recursos para transferirse de la atención primaria a la especializada, y barreras culturales y lingüísticas. Para afrontar el problema, desarrollamos un proyecto que involucra: realizar una investigación de encuestas sobre las desigualdades en atención médica en Kansas City y realizar una feria de salud para la comunidad en Kansas City.
Cuándo: Sábado, 4 de Noviembre, 2023, a las 10:30am-4:30pm.
Donde. El lugar del evento es en Gregg/Klice Community Center. Direccion: 1600 E 17th Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64108
