Community Health Working Training: CCHW) training prepares dedicated individuals to serve as community advocates with health organizations and/or social services systems. Training consists of a 45-hour hybrid online self-study and virtual facilitator-led curriculum that focuses on roles, skills, and competencies of a successful Community Health Worker. Upon completion of classroom training, participants can receive State certification from Indiana Community Health Workers Association (INCHWA) after passing the certification exam. HEART Program: The HEART (Healthy Eating/Active Living/Reduce Stress/Test your Numbers) Program promotes making healthy lifestyle changes, self-monitoring blood pressure, and weight to improve cardiovascular health. Community Health Workers provide a variety of educational topics aimed at increasing the program participants’ knowledge of cardiovascular health. Participants are encouraged to practice multiple self-management skills such as increasing the number of fruits and vegetables consumed per day, increasing the amount of physical activity per week, practicing stress management three or more times per week, and keeping track of their blood pressure and weight. Diabetes Empowerment Education Program (DEEP): DEEP is a self-management program designed to help individuals with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and caregivers understand and manage the condition. It covers topics like nutrition, physical activity, medication management, and preventing complications. The program aims to improve participants’ quality of life and empower them to take control of their health. Latino Outreach Program: HealthVisions provides outreach to residents in the Latino community, including providing health education to Spanish-speaking residents. (See class options above.) Also, we provide interpretation and translation for medical appointments and other practical situations where residents need assistance to navigate life in a predominantly English-speaking society. This may include helping scheduling online school registrations for children, and other needs. Assisted Transportation: Provides one-on-one transportation to seniors 60 years and older. Priority is given to medical transportation, but volunteers also provide transportation for business, shopping, recreation and other events. Volunteers receive training and comprehensive screening including criminal background checks. Information and Assistance: Assists seniors and persons with disabilities with accessing services and resources that enable them to maintain their independence. Staff help clients access Medicare savings programs, extra help for medication, low-income subsidy, Medicare prescription drugs, and open enrollment. Free Bus Passes and Discount License Plate applications are available so that seniors and persons with disabilities can maintain their independence affordably. All services are provided by trained staff at no cost, but donations are encouraged and accepted. Trusted Neighborhood Transportation (TNT) program provides essential transportation service to the Lake County Indiana community. The program ensures the community can attend medial appointments, VA visits, pick up groceries, and collect prescriptions. The program is self-funded, relying on private donations.
