LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – If you’ve faced challenges maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are willing to talk about them, the Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Community Health Team wants to hear from you.
The team is hosting a public forum this Friday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Lima Family YMCA. The event aims to gather community input on barriers residents face when trying to access fresh foods, find a family doctor, or make other important health decisions.
“I like to be able to help people if I can on the spot with just different resources if I have them, but I also take that back to our team, and we create different programs and different events and things to help support the health of these people moving forward,” said Cat Lusky, Community Health Coordinator at Mercy Health – St. Rita’s.
Organizers say the forum will provide a safe and welcoming space for residents to share both their struggles and successes. Feedback gathered will help shape future programs and outreach efforts by the St. Rita’s Community Health Team.
