¡Vive tu vida!
Empower Brokerage participated in the 9th annual ¡Vive tu vida! — Get Up! Get Moving!® event in Brownsville, Texas on October 19, 2019 at Dean Porter Park. This free event – created by the National Alliance for Hispanic Health – is a national, family-friendly event focused on promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles for the whole family.
¡Vive tu vida! is hosted by leading Hispanic community-based organizations and the Brownsville Community Health Center was selected to lead this year’s event in Brownsville, Texas. Attendees had access to free health information and screenings, including blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, vision, and dental. There were also activities for the whole family including Zumba dancing; an obstacle course; soccer, football, and baseball clinics; fishing and kayaking clinics; and cooking, martial arts, boot camp, and gymnastics demonstrations. Participants also had the chance to win raffles, giveaways, enjoy healthy snacks, and listen to music.
Our goal is to create an impact within our community on three levels; Individual: introducing opportunities for physical activity & sports, healthy lifestyle education, and disease prevention education, Family: introducing family oriented activities and services, and Community: creating a platform that connects participants to community physical activity opportunities and follow-up health services. – Brownsville Community Health Center
