‘Dear Neighbors, As members of Community Health Advocates, we would like to thank you for allowing us to speak at the January meeting of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council regarding our health questionnaire and educational workshops to be given in association with the People’s Clinic and the Coalition For The Environment.
We would like to take this opportunity to more fully explain our organization and what we hope to accomplish in your community.
Community Health Advocates is a volunteer organization comprised of individuals whose.interest lies in various aspects of health and health care delivery. Some of those individuals are involved in direct contact with patients on a day-to-day basis, while others are involved in the legal spects of health care, environmental health, as well as public health and community medicine. Our aim is to promote alternative approaches to health care delivery in order to better serve the true health needs of the individuals within the community, and at the same time, to involve those community members in their own health care. Our objective in this project is to conduct health education workshops in your community, in association with the People’S Clinic and the Coalition For The Environment. We have thus far, planned four workshops: nutrition, stress, environmental and occupational health, and legal aspects of health care. Additional topics are planned for later dates. – Prior to conducting the workshops, we will be administering a health questionnaire to individuals within the community. We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss the questionnaire with your neighborhood organization at your next meeting, in order that you can tell us what you feel are the true health needs of your community and in what types of workshops you would like to become involved. Please call Nancy Bloch or Joseph Lipofsky at 533-7900 so that -we can arrange a time to meet with your organization.
We are anxious to talk with you.
Sincerely, Nancy Bloch Ron Bonfield Joseph Lipofsky Community Health Advocates
