Congratulations Special Olympics Pennsylvania on reaching your 15,000th (and more) Healthy Athletes screening! We were so glad we could attend this year's Fall Festival at Villanova to support our partner-clients and friends at SOPA. During the celebration, we got to tour the Healthy Athletes screening areas and drop in at the powerlifting, volleyball, and soccer matches going on that day. What a great event! Thank you for inviting us! #SpecialOlympicsPA #FallFest

Andrea had an incredible time at her first KeyCon conference in Erie on October 30th! ?? She was honored to present a workshop on 'Policy Power-Up for Non-Profit Organizations,' where they explored the power of advocacy, why it's crucial for non-profits, and how to build a community-driven advocacy plan. A big thank you to the Nonprofit Partnership for accepting our proposal—we’re already looking forward to next year! ?? #SocialImpact #NonProfitAdvocacy #NonprofitLife #CommunityEngagement #KeyCon2024

On Tuesday, October 22nd, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the PACHW Collaborative Rally Day at the Capitol building in Harrisburg! ??? It was a powerful day of advocacy as we participated in the rally and dropped off literature at legislative offices, sharing the vital work that Community Health Workers (CHWs) are doing across Pennsylvania. ??? Together, we raised our voices for the importance of health equity and access to care for all communities. Every conversation and every connection made is a step towards a healthier Pennsylvania! Our CEO Andrea L. Lowe, DrPH(c), MPH, CPH even got to see her old apartment building during this visit! Thank you to Pennsylvania Community Health Worker Collaborative for inviting us to join in this important effort! ???? #PACHW #CommunityHealthWorkers #AdvocacyInAction

October is Health Literacy Month! Did you know that health literacy is key to making informed healthcare decisions? It’s not just about understanding medical terms but it's about being able to find, comprehend, and use health information in your daily life. At The Social Impact Studio, we believe in empowering people with the knowledge and resources to improve their well-being. Health literacy is a big part of making informed decisions, and together, we can help raise awareness about it. Check out this resource from the CDC to watch and learn how you can take control of your healthcare journey: https://buff.ly/4eVQ6ta CDC Health Literacy Website: https://buff.ly/3Ygi11t #HealthLiteracyMonth #PublicHealth #Empowerment #HealthLiteracy #HealthcareEducation #CommunityWellness #SocialImpact #HealthCommunication
