At National Healthcare Group (NHG), we believe that good health begins where we live, work, and learn. That’s why we actively partner with workplaces and schools to create healthier environments, encourage preventive care, and empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Caring for your community
The joys of being a good neighbor! It's like being the hero of your own little corner of the world, without the cape (but feel free to wear one if it helps). Here's how you can roll up your sleeves and play an active role in caring for your community and neighborhood, all while contributing to the 15 Million Years of Healthy Life (15M) Social Movement:
- Get to Know Your Neighbors: Start by saying hello to the folks next door. Knowing who lives around you is the first step in building a supportive community. You might even discover a shared love for gardening or an intense rivalry in board games. Together, we can form caring communities that contribute to the 15M goal.
- Organize Community Events: Whether it's a potluck dinner, a neighborhood cleanup, or a garage sale, organizing events brings people together. It's a great way to strengthen bonds and create a sense of belonging. Plus, who doesn't love a good excuse to eat cake? These gatherings can also be a platform to share the 15M vision and inspire collective action for health.
- Volunteer Your Time: Offer your skills or time to local organizations, schools, or charities. Whether you're tutoring kids, helping at a food bank, or walking dogs at a shelter, every little bit helps. Your efforts can directly contribute to adding healthy years to the lives of those in Central and North Singapore.
- Start a Group or Join One: Join or create a group that focuses on health, hobbies, or community improvement. From walking clubs to book clubs, these groups are perfect for fostering connections and promoting well-being. Your group can be part of the 15M movement, working towards regaining those 15 million years of healthy life.
- Be a Resident Connector: Help link your neighbors to resources, services, or groups that can benefit them. Whether it's sharing information about local events or connecting someone to a support group, being a connector makes a big difference. This aligns perfectly with the 15M call to action of moving from "Me to We."
- Support Local Businesses: Shop at local stores and eat at neighborhood restaurants. Supporting local businesses helps keep the community vibrant and economically healthy, contributing to the overall well-being of the area.
- Advocate for Community Needs: Be the voice that speaks up for improvements in your area. Whether it's better street lighting or more green spaces, advocating for community needs can lead to positive changes. These improvements can enhance the quality of life and help achieve the 15M aspiration.
- Share Your Success Stories: Encourage others by sharing your experiences and the benefits you've seen from being involved in the community. You never know who might be inspired to join in! Sharing these stories can help spread the word about the 15M movement and its impact.
Remember, every little action counts, and together, we can build caring communities that enhance our quality of life and work towards adding 15 million years of healthy life for residents in Central and North Singapore. So go ahead, be the neighbor everyone wants to have, and let's make those years count!
