This presentation was created for one of my Spring 2021 courses. It is based off of the UN's overall goals that were set to be met in 2015. Feedback is graciously appreciated

1. GOOD HEALTH & WELL-BEING
MARIA HERNANDEZ

2. WHY DOES IT RESONATE WITH YOU?
This topic resonates with me because I have recently experienced two major losses in
my family. I lost my grandmother and my mother within 3 weeks of one another. My
grandmother despite being a very active up until the time of her death, lived in a rural
part of Mexico where healthcare is not always readily accessible due to location and
cost. My mother passed due to cancer. When she was diagnosed, she was already at
stage 2. I feel that if this had been detected sooner, she could have had a better
opportunity to fight and possibly win the battle against her cancer.

3. HOW CAN YOUR INTEREST BE APPLIED LOCALLY?
I can apply my interest by talking to those I care about and advocating for preventative
care. I can encourage my loved ones to maintain their routine medical visits, follow
their doctor’s instructions, encourage them to stay active and also eating a balanced
diet. With focusing on prevention rather than cure, they can stay abreast of their well
being and set the tone for good health.

4. WHERE CAN I MAKE THE GREATEST
CONTRIBUTION?
I can personally contribute to this cause by modeling the behaviors and habits I
encourage. I can continue to have any annual exams done, eating well,
maintaining a consistent fitness routine. I am can also offer to serve as an
accountability partner to a friend, family member or coworker who may need
some support in starting/continuing a lifestyle change. By showing those I care
for that I practice what I preach, I can be a positive influence for them.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES THAT APPLY TO GOAL
▪ Virgin Pulse. This is an app that my employer offers for us to track our healthy
lifestyles. By achieving tasks like competing our annual exams and
participating in a weight management program, we earn incentives like a
reduced monthly healthcare payroll deduction
▪ Peloton app: I am a Peloton owner so I can use the Peloton app when am
away from home to keep up with my workout routines.
