The full story:
完整故事：
Quest Diagnostics provided no-cost Blueprint for Wellness comprehensive health screenings in collaboration with St. James Health, a community health center focused on providing comprehensive primary health and preventive services in the East, West, and South Wards of Newark, NJ, at a Choose Healthy Life (CHL) event at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Newark. The effort was part of an ongoing collaboration between Choose Healthy Life and the Quest Diagnostics Foundation as part of its Quest for Health Equity (Q4HE) initiative.
在紐瓦克大都會浸信會教堂舉行的 “選擇健康生活”（CHL）活動中，Quest Diagnostics與聖詹姆斯健康中心合作，免費提供了健康藍圖全面健康篩查。聖詹姆斯健康是一家社區衛生中心，致力於在新澤西州紐瓦克的東、西和南區提供全面的初級衛生和預防服務。這項工作是Choose Healthy Life與Quest Diagnostics基金會持續合作的一部分，該合作是其追求健康公平（Q4HE）計劃的一部分。
The event celebrated the expansion of the church's Willing Heart Community Care Center, which is focused on addressing social inequities in healthcare, employment, housing, food disparity, and poverty in Newark and surrounding communities, and the center's transformation to Willing Heart Family Empowerment Center.
該活動慶祝了教會的 Willing Heart 社區護理中心的擴建，該中心專注於解決紐瓦克及周邊社區在醫療保健、就業、住房、食物差距和貧困方面的社會不平等問題，以及該中心向 Willing Heart 家庭賦權中心的轉型。
"I'm truly grateful to celebrate such a groundbreaking initiative at Metropolitan Baptist Church. Under the leadership of Pastor, Rev. Dr. David Jefferson Sr. and with the support of our HUB partner, Willing Heart Community Care Center (WHCCC), we are setting a new standard for holistic community care with the new family empowerment center. This center serves as a testament to the power of faith and community collaboration. Metropolitan is the first in the state of New Jersey and the second among Choose Healthy Life churches to have such a center," said Rev. Kimberly L. Williams, Executive Director, Choose Healthy Life. "I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a part in making this vision a reality. Special gratitude goes to the Quest Diagnostics Foundation for their continued support and donated testing services to address health equity in the communities we serve like Newark through the Quest for Health Equity initiative. Together, we are not just dreaming of a healthier future; we are building it."
“能在大都會浸信會教堂慶祝這樣一項開創性的舉措，我真的很感激。在牧師大衛·傑斐遜牧師博士的領導下，在我們的HUB合作伙伴Willing Heart社區護理中心（WHCCC）的支持下，我們正在通過新的家庭賦權中心爲整體社區護理設定新的標準。該中心證明了信仰和社區合作的力量。Choose Healthy Life執行董事金伯利·威廉姆斯牧師說，大都會是新澤西州第一個，也是Choose Healthy Life教會中第二個 “選擇健康生活” 的教會。“我衷心感謝所有爲實現這一願景做出貢獻的人。特別感謝Quest Diagnostics基金會的持續支持和捐贈的檢測服務，通過 “追求健康公平” 計劃，解決紐瓦克等我們所服務的社區的健康公平問題。共同努力，我們不僅夢想着更健康的未來；我們還在建設未來。”
As a founding sponsor, the Quest Diagnostics Foundation provided financial support to establish CHL's church-based community health workforce. This includes support of CHL HUB partners like The Willing Heart.
作爲創始贊助商，Quest Diagnostics基金會爲建立CHL以教會爲基礎的社區衛生隊伍提供了財政支持。這包括對諸如The Willing Heart之類的CHL HUB合作伙伴的支持。
Quest Diagnostics and the Quest Foundation, through the Q4HE initiative, are building on our initial commitment to CHL through its support of CHL's Community Wellness Program by offering Blueprint for Wellness, which provides a clinical set of laboratory tests and measurements completed to highlight personal health strengths and risks that will support underserved communities in taking control of their health.
Quest Diagnostics和Quest基金會通過Q4HE計劃，在我們最初對CHL的承諾基礎上再接再厲，通過提供健康藍圖來支持CHL的社區健康計劃。該藍圖提供了一系列臨床實驗室測試和測量結果，以突出個人健康優勢和風險，以支持得不到充分服務的社區控制自己的健康。
In total, Quest provided no-cost Blueprint for Wellness to 51 attendees during a recent celebration of Metropolitan Baptist Church's expansion in the community, with St. James clinic staff performing specimen collection and taking biometric measurements. The Q4HE team, several Quest regional employees-including phlebotomists Karen Powell and Lisa Lawson, Jill Fannin, key account manager, and Q4HE intern Lizete Negrete volunteered their time to support this important event. Volunteers were also joined by East Region President Ruth Clements.
在最近的大都會浸信會教堂擴建社區慶祝活動中，Quest共向51名參與者免費提供了健康藍圖，聖詹姆斯診所的工作人員進行了標本採集和生物識別測量。Q4HE團隊、包括抽血師凱倫·鮑威爾和麗莎·勞森在內的幾位Quest地區員工、大客戶經理吉爾·範寧和Q4HE實習生利澤特·內格雷特自願抽出時間支持這一重要活動。東部地區主席露絲·克萊門茨也加入了志願者的行列。
"This event embodied our Quest Purpose-working together to create a healthier world, one life at a time-on all fronts," said Clements. "With Quest as the founding sponsor of the Choose Healthy Life initiative, Pastor Jefferson is realizing his vison to impact the local community of Newark by working together with RJW Barnabas, St. James FQHC, AETNA/CVS, and Quest to realize a new health clinic, daycare and job training center adjacent to his church."
“這次活動體現了我們的探索目的-共同努力創造一個更健康的世界，一個接一個的生活-在所有方面，” 克萊門茨說。“隨着Quest作爲選擇健康生活計劃的創始贊助商，傑斐遜牧師正在與RJW Barnabas、聖詹姆斯FQHC、AETNA/CVS和Quest合作，在他的教堂附近建造一個新的健康診所、日託和職業培訓中心，從而實現影響紐瓦克當地社區的願景。”
A special visit from Sesame Workshop
來自芝麻工作室的特別來訪
To continue the excitement for the families, the Q4HE team arranged for a special guest appearance-Elmo-thanks to a collaboration with Sesame Workshop. The global impact nonprofit behind Sesame Street, Sesame Workshop is one of the organizations that Q4HE collaborates with across many sectors to drive change and empower better health in underserved communities.
爲了延續家庭的興奮感，Q4HE團隊安排了一次特別的嘉賓演出——ELMO——這要歸功於與芝麻工作室的合作。背後的全球影響力非營利組織 芝麻街，Sesame Workshop是Q4HE在多個領域與之合作的組織之一，旨在推動變革，改善服務不足社區的健康狀況。
Kids were also treated to "Staying Healthy" children's books, part of a series developed through Q4HE in collaboration with the Sesame Workshop. The series provides bilingual resources, available in English and Spanish, designed to connect and support parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers as partners in children's healthcare.
孩子們還獲得 “保持健康” 兒童讀物，這是Q4HE與芝麻工作室合作開發的系列書籍的一部分。該系列提供英語和西班牙語雙語資源，旨在將父母、看護人和醫療保健提供者作爲兒童醫療保健合作伙伴聯繫和支持他們。
