00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,171
In Dekalb County, the rate of diabetes is over 30%.
2
00:00:05,171 --> 00:00:07,298
Hypertension, very similar.
3
00:00:07,298 --> 00:00:11,261
If you take a drive through the zip code of 30032,
4
00:00:11,261 --> 00:00:12,762
you may ride for a while
5
00:00:12,762 --> 00:00:16,474
before you find a place that specifically
6
00:00:16,474 --> 00:00:18,810
has fresh fruit and vegetables
7
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:23,231
which means racial and ethnic approaches
8
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:24,983
to community health.
9
00:00:30,488 --> 00:00:33,783
My mother was really rapidly declining
10
00:00:33,783 --> 00:00:37,078
due to, in no small part, to diabetes.
11
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:45,045
Our program allows participants to come in
12
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:48,006
and to work at least in two dimensions:
13
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,842
that is the fitness, and then with the nutrition.
14
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:55,889
I really feel that many of the members of our community,
15
00:00:55,889 --> 00:01:00,477
particularly those who are seniors, are overlooked.
16
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:01,686
I'm very passionate
17
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:04,314
when I drive into that community every day
18
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:07,025
that I'm going to give it the best that I can.
19
00:01:07,025 --> 00:01:11,362
Because if someone had intervened for my family,
20
00:01:11,362 --> 00:01:13,448
their outcome might have been different.
21
00:01:19,704 --> 00:01:22,207
We're bringing healthy food to our communities.
22
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:23,708
When you look at the reasons
23
00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:25,126
why "food deserts" exist,
24
00:01:25,126 --> 00:01:27,337
we see a large concentration of them
25
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:28,838
in the south part of the county.
26
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:31,341
Fresh on Dek is one of the core
27
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:34,511
initiatives of the REACH initiative.
28
00:01:34,511 --> 00:01:38,223
"Food deserts" are low income areas
29
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:42,268
that do not have access to healthy food options.
30
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:44,354
There is a lot of fast food restaurants,
31
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:47,607
as well as smaller retailers that do not
32
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:51,027
necessarily have fresh fruits and vegetables.
33
00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:53,196
There are a lot of issues that you can have
34
00:01:53,196 --> 00:01:55,406
with heart disease, with diabetes,
35
00:01:55,406 --> 00:01:56,866
obesity and things like that
36
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:59,285
that can be highly impacted by your diet.
37
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:02,747
So we have strategically identified
38
00:02:02,747 --> 00:02:04,582
partners within the community.
39
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,167
So the mobile farmers market
40
00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:10,088
could stop to provide fresh fruits and vegetables.
41
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:11,756
I'm really proud of the work that
42
00:02:11,756 --> 00:02:14,092
we're doing to bring healthy foods to our communities.
43
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:16,511
We are improving health outcomes
44
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:19,055
for the citizens of DeKalb County, Georgia.
