Our free health screening service at KENID aims to promote community well-being by providing essential health assessments. By offering these screenings, we empower individuals to take proactive steps toward better health. Here are the key features of our program:

1. Screening Tests: We conduct a variety of standard tests to identify potential health risks. These screenings include:

   • Body Mass Index (BMI): Assessing weight in relation to height.

   • Blood Pressure: Measuring blood pressure levels.

   • Glucose Levels: Checking blood sugar levels.

   • Total Cholesterol: Evaluating cholesterol levels.

   • Individual Health Access Plan: Providing personalized health recommendations.

   • Smoking Cessation Counseling: Supporting those who want to quit smoking.

   • Diabetes Resources: Offering information and resources related to diabetes management.

2. No Cost, No Catch: Our screenings are completely free, and no insurance is required. We believe that early detection of chronic conditions can lead to better outcomes and prevent life-threatening illnesses.

3. Community Impact: Since our inception, we’ve been committed to improving healthcare delivery and promoting a better quality of life in communities. By participating in our health screenings, individuals gain valuable insights into their health status and can make informed decisions about their well-being.

Remember, prevention is key! Regular health screenings can help catch health issues early, allowing for timely intervention. Visit our website at KENID to learn more about our services and upcoming screening events. Together, let’s prioritize health and well-being! 🌟1

The goal of these medical campaigns is to make communities conscious of the impact of diseases and to provide them information about the disease if they want to learn more about it.  Here are a few examples of the medical campaigns KENID will promote in the future.

​

1. Still Going Strong:

   • This campaign encourages older adults to stay active and engaged in activities they enjoy. Getting older doesn’t have to mean giving up on life’s pleasures.

2. Let’s Stop HIV Together:

   • CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together (Together) campaign is part of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative. It aims to reduce HIV stigma, promote HIV testing, prevention, and treatment. The campaign empowers communities, partners, and healthcare providers to take action against HIV1.

3. Hear Her:

   • Over 700 women die each year in the U.S. due to pregnancy or delivery complications. Two-thirds of these deaths could be prevented. The Hear Her campaign raises awareness about maternal health and encourages timely care during pregnancy and delivery1.

4. Tips from Former Smokers:

   • Launched by the CDC, this tobacco education campaign features real people living with serious long-term health effects from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure. It engages healthcare providers to encourage smoking patients to quit for good1.

5. How Right Now:

   • Provides resources to manage stress and stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on mental health and well-being during challenging times.

6. Clean Hands Count:

   • A campaign aimed at improving healthcare provider adherence to hand hygiene recommendations. It also addresses myths and misperceptions about hand hygiene and empowers patients to remind healthcare providers to clean their hands1.

7. Making Health Easier:

   • CDC collaborates with communities, states, tribes, and territories to promote healthy living and prevent chronic diseases. The campaign shares information and resources to make healthy choices easier for people where they live, learn, work, and play1.

8. Medication Safety Program:

   • Educates about safe medication use and risks associated with medicines. It emphasizes following prescribed guidelines and understanding potential side effects1.

Remember that effective health campaigns should be evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and tailored to the target audience. Whether it’s promoting preventive measures, raising awareness about a specific condition, or encouraging healthy behaviors, a well-executed campaign can make a significant impact on public health. 🌟1

At KENID, we believe that a warm meal can do more than just satisfy physical hunger; it can transform lives and restore dignity. Our Homeless Feeding Program serves a dual purpose: meeting immediate needs and fostering community well-being.

1. Feeding the Homeless:

   • Nutritious Meals: We provide warm, nutritious meals to individuals experiencing homelessness. These meals offer sustenance, comfort, and hope.

   • Regular Support: Our program operates on a consistent basis, ensuring that those in need have access to food regularly. Whether it’s a daily meal or weekly distribution, we’re committed to making a difference.

   • Diverse Offerings: Our menu includes a variety of dishes, catering to different dietary preferences and cultural backgrounds. We recognize that everyone deserves nourishment that respects their individuality.

2. Impact Beyond Food:

   • Restoring Dignity: By offering meals in a welcoming environment, we remind homeless individuals that they are not forgotten. Dignity is as essential as sustenance.

   • Hope and Connection: Sharing a meal fosters connections. It’s a moment when someone can feel seen, heard, and valued. Our volunteers engage in conversations, listen to stories, and provide emotional support.

   • Health and Well-Being: Proper nutrition contributes to better physical and mental health. Our program aims to improve overall well-being, even beyond the immediate meal.

3. Community Engagement:

   • Volunteer Opportunities: Our feeding program involves community members, volunteers, and local businesses. Together, we create a network of care and compassion.

   • Collaboration: We partner with other organizations, shelters, and community centers. By working together, we maximize our impact and address homelessness holistically.

   • Educational Outreach: Beyond meals, we educate the community about homelessness, dispelling myths and promoting empathy. Awareness leads to collective action.

4. Giving Back to the Community:

   • Empowering Recipients: Some of our program participants transition from being recipients to becoming volunteers themselves. They find purpose in giving back, reinforcing the cycle of compassion.

   • Strengthening Social Fabric: When we care for our most vulnerable neighbors, we strengthen the bonds that hold our community together. Compassion ripples outward, creating a more resilient society.

Remember, feeding the homeless isn’t just about providing food—it’s about nourishing hope, fostering connections, and building a stronger, more compassionate community. Join us in making a difference! 🌟
