Emery House 2011-2012 Recap:

This team had the opportunity to serve and learn from the staff and residents of Emery House, a transitional work-bed facility for men in Ward 5 operating within the DC Coalition for the Homeless network. After conducting an initial needs, resources, and interest assessment, the team developed health logs to use in one-on-one health education sessions with the men. Topics covered in the sessions focused on chronic disease prevention, diagnoses, and treatment especially related to diabetes and hypertension. Healthy behaviors – including eating a nutritious diet and getting adequate exercise – were also highlighted in these sessions. To reinforce individual session messages as well as reach those men who were not able to participate in the sessions, the team created an updated health resource table complete with materials from federal and national agencies.
