On October 29, 2024, Kaiser Permanente nurses<\/span> Poonam Singh BSN, RN PHN<\/span><\/b> and<\/span> Jica Naval BSN, RN SNIV<\/span><\/b> participated in the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano’s Second Annual Staff Health and Wellness Fair in Fairfield. This event brought together diverse vendors and resources aimed at promoting holistic well-being for Food Bank employees, emphasizing physical, mental, emotional, and social health.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FoodThe involvement of clinical nurses reflected Kaiser Permanente\u2019s deep commitment to community health. Representing the Voice of Nursing (VON), their participation extended beyond a simple outreach effort\u2014it fostered meaningful connections with shared values and initiatives central to both organizations. Their dedicated table served as a hub for engagement, where attendees gained insights into health resources and received answers to health-related questions. Poonam noted, “This opportunity allowed me to better understand the community\u2019s needs and how nurses can provide essential resources. It also deepened my understanding of the positive experiences KP members have with our services.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Jica, the fair was equally impactful. “I was inspired by the thoughtful initiatives the Food Bank showcased, such as their Workplace Safety and Equity Committees, which closely align with our own programs at Kaiser Permanente Vallejo. Seeing these shared commitments to care and compassion was truly energizing.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a member of the Food Bank\u2019s Board of Directors, our Chief Nurse Executive <\/span>Juanita Jularbal-Walton DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC<\/span><\/b> exemplifies the shared mission of advancing health equity and wellness. Together, Kaiser Permanente and the Food Bank continue to build bridges between healthcare and the community it serves.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
