In June, we recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions of Community Health Workers (CHWs) who make a difference in the lives of families every day.

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a special luncheon in honor of our two outstanding Community Health Workers, T and Kelly. As trusted members of the community, they play a vital role in connecting pregnant women and mothers of newborns to essential resources, education, and support services.

Their dedication helps improve maternal and infant health outcomes and supports our ongoing efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates throughout Stark County. Through their compassion, advocacy, and commitment, T and Kelly are helping families thrive and building healthier communities for future generations.

Thank you, T and Kelly, for all that you do. We are grateful for your hard work and the positive impact you make!

🧠 Know the Signs of a Stroke — Act FAST 🧠

A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, and every second counts. Knowing the warning signs could save a life.

Remember the acronym FAST:

🔹 F – Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or feel numb?
🔹 A – Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb?
🔹 S – Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred or hard to understand?
🔹 T – Time to Call 911: If you notice any of these signs, call 911 immediately.

Other symptoms may include sudden confusion, severe headache, dizziness, trouble walking, or vision changes.

Quick action can make all the difference in recovery and survival. Share this post to help spread awareness and protect your loved ones. ❤️

🎉 School’s out for summer! ☀️

For many families, summer break means fun, relaxation, and time together. But for others, it can also mean missed school meals and added stress trying to keep food on the table.

At MCHC, we believe no child should go hungry. ❤️

To help fill the gap this summer, here are some local resources available to families in our community:
🍎 Pop-up Pantry June 16th
🥪 Massillon Summer Food Service Program June 15th- August 7th

Please share this post so families who may need support can find help. Together, we can make sure every child has access to healthy meals all summer long. 💙
