The Rotary Club of Windsor (1918), is planning a “Windsor West Health Day” tentatively scheduled for Spring 2023. The project is being co-chaired by PDG Rick Caron (Administration and Logistics) and Dr. Kiran Tatlay (Programming). The objective is to address the social determinants of health by providing education and impactful activities. The Health Day will also offer information to support residents to get connected to available community resources including primary care.
The long-lasting impact will be a healthier community with greater resiliency and defense against disease and future viruses, such as COVID and flu variants. We will raise health awareness in this vulnerable population with the added benefit of perhaps detecting the onset of disease through basic health checks. Our goal is to create an infrastructure for this event that can be replicated year after year. We are proud that Family Services Windsor-Essex, under the leadership of Joyce Zuk, will partner with on this initiative.
To support this event, we have just submitted a $10,000 grant application to the Gordie Howe International Bridge company under their community organization investment initiative. Many thanks to Vitra Chodha for bringing the grant opportunity to our attention, and to PDG Rick Caron, Kiran Tatlay, Janet Kelly, and Leona MacIntyre for their grant writing support and advice. We will learn the outcome of the grant in April.
We are now looking for volunteers to be on the committee. Please send an email to PDG Rick Caron at rcaron@uwindsor.ca if you wish to participate
