Coming Together: Community
“…if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this bundle, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks." ~Aesop’s Fables “The Bundle of Sticks
The Fountain Place Health Fair was a great success in my eyes as hundreds of the local community members came out to experience free health screenings by dozens of local healthcare providers and other interested partners in our community health. The sense of community of all the providers was one that invoked an optimism for not only the people of Connersville but the people living in the area who might need services from any of the vendors that set up booths at the health fair. Heath care is a benefit to not only the individual but it is to the benefit to the community at large and as a member of providers of care. With that thought in mind, the staff at Best Home Care Services would like to thank Fountain Place for inviting us to their facility to be a part of this excellent experience.
Coming together as a community of people who care about the needs of those around us make us all stronger as a community…there is strength in numbers. It is this concept of strength in numbers that reminded me of Aesop’s fable of the brothers and the bundle of sticks. In short, a bundle of sticks bound together is almost impossible to break but individually, a stick is easily broken. If we as a community of healthcare providers band together then we are stronger in unity than we can ever hope to be alone. Over the next few weeks and months, I will share with you information and stories of some of the fantastic people that attended the health fair because in the end, we are all here for our community and each other. Thanks for reading, I hope everyone has a great week and try to take care of yourself and each other, remember, we’re all in this together.
