DSR Public Health Foundation is calling on committed volunteers to help us continue building healthier, stronger communities across Madison, Gadsden, Leon, Jefferson, and Wakulla counties.

This year, DSR’s work has helped serve more than 200 youth, conducted nearly 1,000 chronic disease prevention screenings, hosted 12 fresh market events, and distributed 2,000 pounds of food to families and communities. From youth leadership and tutoring support to health screenings, food access, wellness education, and community outreach, our programs are creating measurable impact where it is needed most.

Volunteers play a vital role in expanding this work. Whether supporting events, assisting with outreach, helping distribute resources, or engaging with community members, your time and talents can help connect more families to essential public health services.

Community is at the heart of everything we do, and this National Public Health Week, we are proud to be meeting people where they are to support healthier, stronger communities while advancing rural health across the regions we serve.

This week, our team has been actively on the ground, serving students at Stewart Street Elementary in Quincy, connecting with older adults at the Madison County Senior Center, and engaging future leaders at Florida A&M University. Through these efforts, we provided health education on the importance of routine health screenings and successfully screened over 35 individuals.

In addition, our Youth Health Leadership Program continues to empower the next generation with the knowledge and skills to lead healthier communities, while our ongoing food distribution efforts help ensure access to fresh, healthy food for families in need.

Our work reflects our mission to strengthen health systems, expand access to care, and improve outcomes for communities, with a strong focus on rural health, through evidence-based, community-centered approaches.

Access to quality health care, nutritious food, and reliable health education should not be determined by zip code.
Expanding access to essential services, strengthening families, and delivering community-based programs remain central to improving health outcomes across rural communities.

We are excited to continue this work through Harmony & Hues: A Jazz and Art Fundraiser on June 11, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM at Parkview at Cascades. This special evening will bring together live jazz, inspiring art, and community connection in support of programs that increase access to healthy food, family-centered services, and health education for children and families in Florida’s rural counties.
Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities will be announced soon.

Save the date to join us for an unforgettable evening as we invest in lasting, community-driven impact. We invite you to be part of this effort, donate using the link in our bio.

Food plays a vital role in supporting both physical and mental well-being. Our upcoming community event, Food is Medicine: Nourishing the Body & Mind, will bring together youth, families, and community members to explore practical ways to build healthier lifestyles through nutrition and prevention, with a special focus on strengthening health outcomes in rural communities.

Join us for an engaging experience featuring a live healthy cooking demonstration hosted by UF/IFAS, where participants will learn how to prepare simple, affordable meals that support heart health and overall wellness.

The event will also highlight the powerful connection between nutrition, physical health, and mental well-being, while addressing the unique challenges and opportunities related to improving rural health. Participants will leave with practical knowledge and tools they can use to support healthier families and stronger communities.

We look forward to bringing the community together to learn, connect, and take meaningful steps toward healthier living.

Last weekend, the DSR HealthCheck team was proud to participate in a Family Wellness Expo hosted by the Tallahassee Chapter of The Links, Incorporated at FAMU DRS. We were honored to have Dr. LaDarius Gammage serve as the anchor speaker, sharing important insight on public health and chronic kidney disease, while our team provided health screenings, education, and community resource connections for attendees.

A special thank you to our first volunteers, Ar’Mani Moore and Darla Moore, for helping us create a warm and welcoming space for community members. We are grateful for opportunities like this that allow us to connect directly with the community and support healthier futures together.

If you would like to partner with DSR HealthCheck for health screenings, health education, or speakers at your next event, we would love to connect.

Congratulations to our team member, Dr. Kiara Sims-Thrasher, on successfully defending her dissertation titled “Sociodemographic Factors and Dating Violence Among Adolescents Living in Rural Southern United States Communities.”

Dr. Sims-Thrasher’s research examines factors related to adolescent dating violence in rural communities across the southern United States. Her work provides important insight into an issue that affects the health and well-being of young people and families in many rural communities.

Our work is centered on expanding access to health care services, education, and resources to support positive health outcomes. Dr. Sims-Thrasher’s scholarship reflects this commitment by contributing knowledge that can inform programs, prevention strategies, and policies that support safer and healthier communities.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sims-Thrasher on this important achievement.
