March is Women’s History Month, a time to recall the many accomplishments women have made in our society. As I reflect upon the observance, I am drawn to my own path to becoming a doctor.
My earliest memories are filled with emergency room visits and hospitalizations related to my childhood asthma and food allergies – which often led to life-threatening reactions. The scene was always the same. It was dark outside, I would be hurried into the car, and taken to a local hospital on Staten Island. I have vivid flashbacks of opening my eyes to doctors, nurses, and medical staff

非裔美國人的醫療保健差異包括醫療保健覆蓋範圍、該部門的就業情況和健康狀況。 與白人相比，非裔美國人更有可能患有糖尿病、高血壓、心臟病或氣喘等慢性病，且預期壽命更短。

二月是黑人歷史月。 身為非裔美國男性，我每個月都會學習和參與黑人歷史，但二月讓我有時間專注於改善我的社區和我自己的方法。
Fidelis Care 提供了 50,000 美元的贈款，以支持康奈爾合作推廣韋恩縣的項目，以應對地區糧食不安全問題。 這筆補助金是 Fidelis Care 向紐約州對抗飢餓前線的非營利組織捐贈的 315,000 美元的一部分。
飛達利斯保健「Veggies to Go」計劃在創立的第二年向貧困個人和家庭分發了1,770袋健康食品。2023年總計分發了35,400磅新鮮果蔬，相比計劃創立的第一年增長了68%。Veggies to Go旨在解決紐約州廣大城鄉社區營養和食品不安全的問題。
「饑餓無處不在。紐約的許多地區存在服務不足的社區，這些社區正在與食品不安全和「食品荒漠」作鬥爭，」飛達利斯保健銷售和行銷總監Shannon Lombardo說。「Veggies to Go是一個絕妙的途徑，我們可以透過它來啟動關於食品不安全的對話，並圍繞一些為人們提供幫助的機構和計劃來共享相關資訊。」
