Our health is affected by the world around us – and we are healthier when we have clean air, water and soil; healthy ecosystems; access to natural spaces; and freedom from extreme weather, radiation and pathogens.

This Earth Day, we remember that a thriving natural world is vital for health and well-being.

At OneWorld, attention to minority health means building relationships with individuals who don’t otherwise have access to health care systems – as well as finding resources and providing education.

New from Flatwater and ProPublica: For more than a century, a smelter and other factories spewed 400 million pounds of lead dust across Omaha’s east side. Faced with similar concerns, 13 states passed laws requiring all kids to get a blood test before kindergarten. But not Nebraska.

At OneWorld, mission moments happen when our team members live out our values – without letting hiccups get in the way of quality care.

When OneWorld patient Jenni started a new job, enrolling in her new health insurance came with some hiccups. She had to pay out of pocket for a few months – which got expensive with 8-9 prescriptions plus medical visits.

After Jenni finally received her new insurance card, she reached out to the OneWorld Pharmacy about refunding past out-of-pocket costs. Pharmacy Technician Nancy Estrada-Gomez collected Jenni’s information and promised to call back the next day, after working with her supervisor to figure out next steps.

As promised, Jenni said, Nancy called back with a plan. All Jenni had to do was bring in her debit card.

Another hiccup.

Jenni’s card had been blocked due to a recent experience with identity theft, and her new card hadn’t yet arrived. But after a few more calls back and forth, Nancy helped Jenni find a resolution.

“Nancy definitely went above and beyond 1000x with the way she handled all situations,” Jenni said. “Most times people throw this under the rug and/or brush off to someone else but she didn’t… I really appreciate everything she did to get this worked out for me. I call every month and pick up my medications every month. I have spoke with Nancy several times and she is always a delight and friendly. She not only made my day but she made my entire month!!!”

Public health improves our daily lives, protects our families, expands our life spans and strengthens our communities. As a Community Health Center, we are proud to play a role in protecting and improving public health by providing accessible preventive care for our community!

Public health is more than health care—it’s about reaching beyond the exam room to address the non-clinical factors that shape health.

For more than 60 years, Community Health Centers (CHCs) have led this work, caring for the whole person through primary care, pharmacy, oral health, behavioral health, and enabling services, while also helping communities navigate issues like safe food and clean water.

CHCs are on the frontlines, responding to our nation’s greatest public health challenges, emergencies and natural disasters.

This , we celebrate the heroes, innovators, problem solvers, and troubleshooters who power the CHC movement. 💙

Public health is more than just health care. It’s about reaching beyond the walls of the exam room to address the non-clinical factors that affect health, such as access to vaccines and healthy food. Community Health Centers, like OneWorld, do this every day as part of their mission.
