EmVenio Research November 2023 Community Engagement Overview
November 20, 2023

Throughout recent months, EmVenio joined forces with local communities for a series of engaging events aimed at nurturing unity, promoting awareness, and fostering education. These inclusive gatherings ranged from health fairs that focused on well-being to vibrant celebrations of diverse cultures. Our purpose in attending these events was to increase the awareness and importance of clinical research and offer local communities a chance to learn about key aspects of their health by scheduling a free health screening with our clinicians. Undoubtedly, these remarkable occasions succeeded in bringing individuals together from all walks of life.  

Oklahoma 

In Oklahoma, we attended the YMCA Diabetes Health Fair that brought together health professionals and members of the local community, providing them with a valuable platform to gain a deeper understanding of diabetes and learn effective strategies for managing the condition. Participants were able to acquire valuable insights, receive support, and access resources that would enable them to lead healthier lifestyles, ultimately reducing the impact of this prevalent condition. 

Florida 

At the National Night Out hosted by the East Orange Community Center, we had the opportunity to commemorate families and law enforcement coming together to promote trust and camaraderie while emphasizing the importance of safe neighborhoods. In Deer Wood, the Senior BINGO Night proved to be more than just a game—it was an opportunity for socialization and fun. This event brought together seniors for an evening filled with laughter, games, and connection. Additionally, Florida hosted both Oktoberfest and the Spooktacular, celebrating diversity and entertainment. Oktoberfest showcases German heritage with music, food, and traditional festivities. Meanwhile, the Spooktacular welcomes everyone for a thrilling, family-friendly Halloween celebration.

Alabama 

In Alabama, we had the honor to attend the Black Nurses Rock organization’s Breast Cancer Awareness event. This event provided support, education, and a sense of empowerment to the community. This impactful event went beyond raising awareness about breast health and early detection; it created a safe space for individuals to openly discuss their concerns, fears, and questions regarding breast cancer. Through informative workshops, interactive sessions, and heartfelt stories shared by survivors, the event aimed to equip attendees with not only knowledge but also the courage to take proactive steps towards their own breast health.
