Health Literacy

Best practices lead to healthy behaviors.

Alexander JFS encourages all clients and community members to follow the guidelines set forth by the The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  CDC Health Literacy helps people understand and use health information to make better decisions about their well-being.

We hope to encourage people to learn more about their own health and seek professional medical advice from their physicians when necessary.

Learn How To:
  • Use health information rather than just understand it.
  • Make "well-informed" decisions rather than "appropriate" ones.
  • Acknowledge that organizations have a responsibility to address health literacy.
  • Incorporate a public health perspective.

Vaccines & Immunizations

A program for adults with pervasive and persistent mental illness

Vaccination is one of the best things you can do to help protect yourself and your family from serious diseases. The CDC provides detailed information on when to schedules and specific recommendations for adults and children.

Seasonal Flu Information

A weekly group for high functioning young Jewish adults with disabilities

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.

Covid-19 Information

A program for adults with pervasive and persistent mental illness

COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID-19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system. Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease. Most people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill.
