Run the World

I don’t really talk about it much here, but I work for GE’s Developing Health program as an Initiative Coordinator. The program works to increase the level of healthcare access to members of underserved communities. We do this by leading community and skill based volunteer efforts at non-profit health clinics around the USA. 

Our latest event was at Atlanta’s West End Medical Centers, Inc. The clinic is great to work with because you can tell their staff has a true passion for helping those in need. The event itself was cool: free health screenings and a bunch of family fun activities. I always feel the best part about these community events is that they  help steer people toward adopting healthier lifestyles and taking more preventative health measures.

Healthcare is obviously a huge area of concern within our country and people are always asking me what they should do to get in better shape. I always tell them they should start by eating as cleanly as possible, i.e., avoid eating things that don’t grow or are prepared naturally. I always use the example - instead of eating a fruit nutrition bar, just eat some fruit.
