Information is power, helping people to make the right decisions. At Quest, our data reveals insights which empowers better health. Quest for Health Equity (Q4HE) is also empowering better health by supporting a group of aspiring health journalists.\r\n
Healthy NewsWorks (HNW) empowers elementary and middle school students in underserved communities to become researchers, writers, critical thinkers, and confident communicators who advance health understanding and literacy through their factual publications and digital media.
\r\nThrough the program, student health journalists learn how to ask questions, identify factual information, write accurately, think critically, and share what they’ve learned. Their work is published in health-focused newspapers, books, and digital media that are distributed in their schools and communities, and on a health-focused website for all to access.
\r\n“The work we do is very important, both to our aspiring reporters as well as to the young people who read their content,” said Marian Uhlman, Executive Director of Healthy NewsWorks. “Quest’s support of this program not only helps to promote the work of future journalists, but it helps to inform young people in underserved communities of the importance of making healthy choices whenever possible.”
\r\nQuest for Health Equity has provided a grant to help build the program’s capacity so it can deepen its impact in its existing partner schools and expand to more schools and communities in the Philadelphia area and beyond. The grant will support additional opportunities for young reporters to publish articles, illustrations, and videos that address the health issues important to them and their communities.
\r\nQ4HE is a wide-ranging initiative to address and reduce health disparities in underserved communities, including those impacted by COVID-19. The multi-year initiative provides a combination of donated testing services, education programs, partnerships, and funding to support initiatives to close the gap in healthcare disparities in underserved communities.
\r\n“We are proud to collaborate with Healthy NewsWorks to support their mission to address literacy and health in underserved populations,” said Mandell Jackson, General Manager/Vice President of Q4HE.
\r\n“These student journalists are empowered to become messengers, educators, and role models for healthy behaviors among their peers, families, and neighbors.”

健康NewsWorks (HNW)幫助服務不足社區的中小學生成為研究人員、作家、批判性思考者和自信的傳播者，通過其事實性出版物和數字媒體促進對衛生的理解和素養。
通過該項目，學生健康記者學會了如何提問，識別事實信息，準確寫作，批判性思考，並分享他們所學到的知識。他們的工作發表在以衛生為重點的報紙、書籍和數字媒體上，在學校和社區分發，並在一個以衛生為重點的網站上供所有人訪問。
“我們所做的工作非常重要，對我們有抱負的記者和閱讀他們內容的年輕人都是如此，”健康新聞工作的執行董事瑪麗安·烏爾曼(Marian Uhlman)說。“Quest對這個項目的支持不僅有助於促進未來記者的工作，還有助於讓服務不足社區的年輕人了解盡可能做出健康選擇的重要性。”
健康公平追求提供了一筆贈款，以幫助建立該項目的能力，從而加深其對現有合作學校的影響，並擴大到費城地區及其他地區更多的學校和社區。這筆贈款將為年輕記者提供更多機會，讓他們發表文章、插圖和視頻，討論對他們及其社區重要的健康問題。
Q4HE是一項廣泛的倡議，旨在解決和減少服務不足社區(包括受COVID-19影響的社區)的健康差異。這項多年計劃結合捐贈的檢測服務、教育項目、夥伴關係和資金，支持旨在縮小服務不足社區醫療保健差距的舉措。
Q4HE的總經理/副總裁Mandell Jackson說:“我們很自豪能與健康新聞工作室合作，支持他們解決服務不足人群的掃盲和健康問題的使命。”
“這些學生記者被賦予權力，成為在同齡人、家庭和鄰居中健康行為的信使、教育者和榜樣。”
Quest’s support will also enable HNW to grow their new By Kids For Kids health news service that features content by kids in elementary and middle school. Teachers and parents can also access a companion site with lessons, activities, and videos to encourage student and community engagement. Over the past 18 years, Healthy NewsWorks has worked with thousands of children to teach health literacy while also developing their leadership, critical thinking and communications skills through journalism.

“Being involved in Healthy NewsWorks has really had an impact on my life. It has taught me about constructive criticism, time management, and public speaking. I also learned how to partner with others to get the job done. I had to have all these skills as a reporter. But now I use these skills every day, and they help me be a successful person in general. I don’t think I could’ve ever done this without Healthy NewsWorks.” — eighth grade HNW student

Quest的支持也將使HNW能夠發展新的兒童對兒童以小學和中學兒童的內容為特色的健康新聞服務。老師和家長也可以訪問同伴網站通過課程、活動和視頻鼓勵學生和社區參與。在過去的18年裏，健康新聞工作室與數千名兒童合作，教授衛生知識，同時通過新聞工作培養他們的領導力、批判性思維和溝通技能。
“參與健康新聞工作真的對我的生活產生了影響。它教會了我建設性的批評、時間管理和公開演講。我還學會了如何與他人合作完成工作。作為一名記者，我必須具備所有這些技能。但現在我每天都在使用這些技巧，它們幫助我成為一個總體上成功的人。如果沒有健康新聞，我不可能做到這一點。”- - -八年級高淨值學生
