I come from a family health history of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and asthma. As a person who is managing diabetes, high cholesterol, a heart condition, and thyroid disease with medicine, adjusting my eating habits, trying to exercise regularly, reducing stress, daily prayer and maintaining a positive attitude, I can attest that it does take a village to make a difference in a person’s life. MLK, Jr. Family Clinic and the Foremost Family Health Center Balch Springs can be the village of staff members who can continue the partnership and improve the health outcomes of this community and other communities, one patient at a time even in the midst of unexpected health pandemics.
