For the past decade, Agape Community Center has shown concern and taken action regarding the physical health needs people - especially the large number of uninsured and underinsured individuals living in our service area.
Nurses on Campus at Agape: In collaboration with Cardinal Stritch University's College of Nursing, meal guests and program participants and other visitors to our facility have had the opportunity for blood pressure checks, early detection of vision or hearing problems, health education, and general health or medication consultations. Options for promoting a healthy lifestyle are also incorporated in our youth programs. Cardinal Stritch's College of Nursing conducts classes in community nursing here at our center.
The Journey of HOPE: We are also very enthusiastic about a collaborative research study of health needs within our service area. This study, funded through the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Project, is called Journey of HOPE. It has been a springboard for innovative new strategies for health care and wellness within our neighborhoods. Our Community Advisory Board takes a lead role in implementing the Journey of Hope activities.
