🎥 Hear From the Heart: Participant Stories ❤️

Our Heart Health Initiative has been moving through Delaware one conversation, one screening, and one life-changing moment at a time.

We sat down with community members, faith partners, and program participants to ask them about their experience—
What inspired them? What they learned? How this initiative is impacting their wellness journey?

Today, we’re sharing their voices. Their truth. Their heart.

👉 Watch the interviews to hear their thoughts, their motivation, and the power of coming together for better heart health.

Being Heard at the Doctor’s Office
💬 “Speak up. Ask questions. Take space. You are the expert on you.”

Doctors can be rushed. Systems can be biased. But you still have power.

✨ How to be your own advocate:
✔️ Bring a trusted friend or note-taker
✔️ Say: “I need more information before I decide.”
✔️ Ask: “Are there options that work better for Black patients like me?”
✔️ Keep records of your symptoms and visits
✔️ Trust your gut — even if they don’t

You are not difficult. You are thorough. You are not dramatic. You are aware.

You deserve full care.
