Don't delay. Early detection is the way! 🎀🩷🫶🏻
 
October is breast cancer awareness month! It's a global campaign to increase awareness of breast cancer, promote early detection through regular screenings like mammograms and support patients and survivors.
 
In honor of this month, we wanted to take a moment to share the experience of one of our students whose mother is a 2-time breast cancer survivor.

amina!! says: “My mom has survived cancer twice. When it came back a second time, it was far more aggressive, and I made the decision to put everything on hold to support her in every way I could. I wanted to be there for her in all the ways I felt I hadn’t been the first time. My mom deserves a cancer-free life, and so does everyone else facing this battle. This experience taught me the importance of early detection, staying on top of your health, and advocating for those around you. After everything my family has been through, I will never stop promoting health and awareness.”
 
We couldn't agree more! Early detection is critical, and drastically improving outcomes, raising the 5-year relative survival rate to over 99% when caught at a localized stage, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Today, University of Memphis School of Public Health students toured the Hospitality Hub of Memphis as part of the first Public Health on Wheels journey of the semester, seeing first-hand how public health relates to an organization whose mission is to help those experiencing homelessness. 

The Hub was founded in 2007 by the Downtown Churches Association. Since then, it has built a professional team who work tirelessly alongside each guest to navigate a path out of homelessness.

In 2022, they opened the new Hub campus at 590 Washington Avenue, which students saw today. This campus expanded The Hub's capacity to serve and shelter those in need and includes the Hub Hotel, barrier-free emergency shelter for women and children, as well as 10 Hub Studios, non-congregate shelter for those who might not be able to access other shelters.

The Hospitality Hub offers a vast array of services meant to work as a holistic approach in helping people exit homelessness successfully. They also operate heating and cooling centers, offer temporary employment, outreach programs, food assistance, and much more. 

Students were able to see the facility and learn about how their work in public health can translate to real world impact through places like the Hospitality Hub. 

Thank you to the Hospitality Hub for showing us how public health translates to careers that can make life changing impacts on vulnerable populations.

October 15 is Global Handwashing Day, a global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
 
According to the CDC, consistent handwashing can reduce the number of respiratory infections by up to 21%, and gastrointestinal illness by as much as 31%.

In honor of today, our Community Outreach Ambassadors broke down the proper handwashing technique.

Delaurio Suttle "Dale” is a dual enrolled MBA & MHA student at the University of Memphis School of Public Health. He is a military veteran who decided after his service ended that he wanted to continue giving back to the community through the lens of public health.
 
Some of the reasons he chose the School of Public Health here at the University of Memphis are its CAHME accreditation, opportunities to conduct research with faculty, and the dedication of professors in helping their students succeed.
 
Dale values paying forward the blessings he has been given in life and wants to do that through public health leadership. He says growing up in Alabama allowed him to see first-hand the health care disparities that underserved populations must face on a regular basis and the detriment which lies in those disparities. He wants to focus specifically on health challenges that black men face and how we can, collectively, close some of those gaps which fall along racial and ethnic lines.
 
Dale is also very active on campus as the treasurer of the Public Health student association, and president of the Master of Health administration Student Association where he has helped create a speaker series bringing in healthcare leaders and stakeholders from the local community to speak with students about various career pathways they can take upon graduating with a degree in public health.
