New Health Initiatives Launched in Orihuela
The municipality of Orihuela is taking meaningful steps to enhance the well-being of it’s residents through a new collaboration between the Town Hall and CEU Cardenal Herrera University. This partnership aims to foster cultural, educational, and scientific initiatives that promote healthier lifestyles within the community.
### Health Awareness Efforts
In a recent event at the weekly Marqués de Molins market, nursing students from CEU Cardenal Herrera University set up two informational tables. In collaboration with the local health department, the students provided essential resources about health prevention and encouraged healthy habits among the Orihuela population.
According to Irene Celdrán, the Councillor for Health, these initiatives have been very well-received by the community. “We wanted to provide the population with data about health prevention and create awareness about healthy lifestyle choices,” Celdrán explained.
### Community Engagement
The nursing students also conducted health screenings, measuring blood pressure and blood glucose levels for those who stopped by their informational booths. This hands-on experience not only benefits the residents but also enriches the educational experience for the students involved.
### Importance of the Collaboration
Celdrán highlighted the meaning of the agreement with CEU Cardenal Herrera University, noting it enhances future health-related events such as the upcoming “feria de la Salud” (Health Fair) and educational talks in local schools. These joint efforts aim to integrate university students into various health initiatives, creating a more informed and health-conscious community.
“I want to extend my gratitude to CEU Cardenal Herrera University for their commitment to collaborating with the municipality of Orihuela, ultimately promoting healthy habits among our population,” Celdrán concluded.### Future Endeavors
This collaboration sets a precedent for future health initiatives in Orihuela, paving the way for more community engagement and awareness around health issues. Residents can look forward to more educational events and health services that aim to empower them to take charge of their health and well-being.
