    • Right at the beginning of Strollin we had a volunteer meeting to make sure everyone understood their roles so the event would run smoothly. Each of us on the committee were captains of a certain area and further informed our volunteers of their jobs. My volunteers were responsive to feedback and good at staying in their zones. 
• 3.2: Deliver health education and promotion interventions.
  • 3.2.4: Deliver health education and promotion as designed.
    • At Strollin we delived education and health promotion resources like we’ve been planning to for weeks. Our doctors talked about the important of a healthy diet, screening measures, and understanding your risk factors and genetic predispositions. The whole point of the event was to emphasize screening and prevention measures and we did just that! Yessica was stationed talking to guests about the parameters around colonocopies and signing them up to recieve information for scheduling one.

  • 7.1.3: Involve parters and stakeholders throughout the health education and promotion process in meaningful and sustainable ways.
    • At Stollin we included our doctors and many community members to inform the guest about colon cancer prevention and treatment. Our doctors did a great job with health education. We also had a colonoscopy scope company show and teach people about colonoscopies. We had stufents fro the UGA School of Medicine teaching children about the digestive system and what colon cancer means. We had drug companies to talk about their part in colon cancer treatment. We had a hospice group that could talk about how they help with end of life care if colon cancer progresses beyond treatment. All of these different stakeholders were able to educate our community of different parts of the colon cancer journey.

Reflection of Week 10

• This week was the busiest week of my life!!!!! I had a huge event for Kesem as well so I felt like I was being pulled in all directions. I also had headaches and a migraine for a few days which made it even harder. I took Thursday off because I was having a migraine and Friday was scheduled off to compensate for the extra time I spent working Wednesday and Saturday. This week was really rewarding because it’s so amazing to have a plan come to fruition and be successful. Strollin was awesome and I’m so proud of our whole team for the hard work we’ve put into making it happen. I’m grateful to have been a part of it and proud to add it to the list of big events I’ve helped execute. It was also awesome because of the love and support within UCBC Cares. We celebrated Yessica with so much love this week and I’m just glad to work somewhere where the culture is so beautiful. It was also cool to get to experience the vendor fair. Pharmaceutical reps are so interesting to me and I’ve gotten to meet a lot of them at this job.
