In a significant move to bolster community health initiatives, MyHealthIowa/MiSaludIowa, hosted an evidence-based training class on cholesterol screening on Tuesday, May 21 at the DMACC urban campus. The program targeted a select group of five community health warriors from RIVA and KADI, equipping them with essential skills to better serve their populations.
The training session, held on Tuesday, May 21, brought together these dedicated health warriors, focusing on improving cardiovascular health within their communities. The evidence-based curriculum covered best practices for cholesterol screening, the importance of early detection, and strategies for effectively communicating results and health advice to participants.
Participants engaged in hands-on activities and interactive sessions designed to reinforce practical skills and knowledge. The program emphasized the use of accurate screening techniques, patient education, and appropriate referrals to Primary HealthCare. The RIVA and KADI health warriors left the training with a renewed sense of purpose and enhanced capability to conduct effective cholesterol screenings.
The implementation of this training underscores the commitment of MyHealthIowa/MiSaludIowa to community health and their proactive approach to tackling prevalent health concerns. As cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in the United States, initiatives like this are vital in creating healthier communities through education and early intervention.
