🎄 Partner Spotlight: Sentara Health 🎄 CINCH is proud to highlight the incredible impact our partner, Sentara Health, is making in the community! On Dec. 3, Sentara sponsored and volunteered at the Project Connect Holiday Toy Drive, hosted alongside the Urban League of Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach. This heartfelt event brought holiday cheer to families experiencing homelessness, veterans, servicemembers, and survivors of domestic violence. From holiday dinners to special gifts and deliveries, Sentara truly embodied the spirit of giving. Thank you, Sentara Health, for being a champion of community health and well-being during this season of generosity. 💛 #PartnerImpact #CommunityHealth #HolidayGiving #SentaraCares
We believe in the power of community impact. 💛 On Dec. 3, Sentara proudly sponsored and volunteered for Project Connect’s Holiday Toy Drive, hosted in partnership with the Urban League of Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach. This special evening brought joy to families impacted by homelessness, battered women, veterans, and servicemen and women. A holiday dinner, gifts from Santa, and deliveries to those unable to attend made the night unforgettable. Supporting our community during the holidays is one of the ways we live out our mission. #SentaraCares #CommunityImpact #HolidayGiving #OneSentara

✨ Reflecting on a Year of Impact at CINCH ✨ As 2024 comes to a close, we’re proud to celebrate the strides CINCH has made in advancing maternal and child health and fostering strong community connections. This year, our work continued to thrive through initiatives like the 4th Annual Breastfeeding Bash hosted by #757Breastfeeds. 2024 Highlights: 🌟 Welcomed over 300 attendees to the Breastfeeding Bash, connecting families to 39 vendors offering resources like lactation support, mental health counseling, and perinatal education. 🌟 Grew the #757Breastfeeds community to over 400 members, empowering families through peer support and education. 🌟 Strengthened partnerships with healthcare organizations, public health professionals, and community leaders to improve access to essential health services. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, we’ve worked to reduce health disparities and create healthier, stronger communities. We are grateful to our partners and sponsors for helping make these milestones possible. As we look ahead to 2025, CINCH remains committed to supporting families and building a brighter future for all. Here’s to continued success in the year ahead! #YearInReview #MaternalHealth #CommunityWellness

🌍 Access to healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Did you know that 1 in 8 people worldwide face the risk of poverty due to out-of-pocket health expenses exceeding 10% of their household budget? This financial burden often prevents mothers and families from accessing life-saving interventions and timely treatment for themselves and their children. At CINCH, we believe in the power of equitable healthcare access. Healthier populations create more resilient and prosperous communities, bringing us closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On this Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, we join the global call for urgent action to implement financial protection measures that safeguard the most vulnerable among us. Explore how universal health coverage can transform lives: https://bit.ly/3OGl5hA #HealthForAll #UHC2024
The need to spend large amounts out-of-pocket to access health services is placing 1 in 8 people worldwide at risk of poverty due to out-of-pocket health expenditure of 10% or more of their household budget. Governments must adequately invest in #HealthForAll and protect people – particularly the most vulnerable among us – from impoverishing health spending. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3OGl5hA

Celebrating Partnership and Impact 🎉 We’re thrilled to recognize MyActiveChild.com for their incredible support of Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and their children's mental health initiatives.

This effort exemplifies the power of collaboration and dedication to improving the well-being of our community’s families. At CINCH, we are proud to work alongside both MyActiveChild.com and CHKD as we all strive to create a healthier and stronger future for children and families. 💙 Let’s continue to #BeTheChange and #LightTheWay together! #CommunityImpact #ChildrensMentalHealth #HamptonRoads #Partnerships

In 2021, I made the decision that MyActiveChild.com would donate a portion of all local advertising to the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters - specifically to their children's mental health initiatives. While this plan has been in action, and mentioned in our media kit ever since, I haven't shared an update on the impact of that decision. I am thrilled to let you know that, to date, MyActiveChild.com has contributed over $10,000 to support children's mental health in Hampton Roads. 💗 It was a proud (and surreal) moment to see this panel helping to light up the wall of the CHKD Pavilion. To all of you who have supported my small business through our advertising partnerships, as local readers, and as cheerleaders.... thank you for allowing me to support such an important resource for local families in Hampton Roads. Thank you for helping to #bethechange and #lighttheway in our community.
