PReservation of skin
Research shows that people of color, including Hispanics and Asians, have higher mortality rates from skin cancer than Caucasians and take fewer measures to limit its onset. Preservation of Skin promotes healthy skin habits, educating people to recognize their risk factors for skin cancer and their best defenses to protect themselves. Examples of best practices are demonstrated along with providing literature with both pictures and printed takeaways to implement.
These free dispensers are being placed around cities to promote the use of sunscreen which blocks harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The UVA and UVB rays we are exposed to when we are outside, even on cloudy days are the effects of the sun penetrating through our atmosphere and can create damage at our body's cellular levels.
If you would like to sponsor a dispenser at your business location or provide a demonstration to a group please use the contact form to collaborate to help preserve our communities skin.
preservation of nutrition
Community gardening is the crossroads of agriculture, health, sustainability, and the preservation of a healthy diet. Preservation of nutrition is showing transformations in healthcare. Combating diseases at one of the root causes, poor diets. Educating and providing fresh seasonal produce is a foundational piece to preserving a healthy lifestyle. Community gardens provide organic sourced diverse and delicious foods, which provide the variety of vitamins and minerals our bodies require; Connecting people to their food from the soil to the family meal. To learn more about how you can participate in this initiative please email me to join as I contribute to my surrounding communities, through farming, and delivering produce to local food banks and kitchens reducing food insecurities.
preservation of mind
Alzheimer's and dementia patients are in need of stimulation that brings back tasks that they once used to perform independently. Sensory tables and lap activity boards provide a simple solution to the need to stimulate seniors' mental stimulation needs. Users are seen fiddling with boards actively engaging their fine motor and cognitive skills. Working with the boards helps reduce challenging behaviors that are often seen in patients that have declining memory capacity. The use of the activity boards and the sensory table activities improve self-esteem, decrease anxiety, improve sleep habits of patients, reduce caregiver stress, redirect patient's frustration and anger into positive engagement.
Preservation has created 1018 activity boards for geriatric patients in the United States and India; I can expand this project through volunteers who would like to build or donate supplies to create these beneficial activity boards. Currently, we are seeking builders to fill an order for over 100 boards to be filled in the next few months. If you would like to gain service hours or would want to support this initiative please use the contact form to sign up.
