"Cleaner Streets, Cleaner Lives" Healthcare Initiative
The “Cleaner Streets, Cleaner Lives” initiative was an intervention program that my team and I designed over the course of an entire semester in a healthcare innovation course at Kennesaw State in spring of 2025. The project was designed to encourage integrated teamwork and communication. While we were creating our innovation strategy, we had to practice excellent time management, accountability, and reliable communication. Everyone was assigned specific roles to complete each section of the initiative with fixed deadlines and distinct expectations. The two artifacts from this project showcased below are the evaluation strategy and the implementation plan. For these sections of the intervention plan we had to creatively think how we could implement our proposed changes to reduce health disparities caused by substance use and how we could check to see if the changes we made were effective in reducing substance use within the community. This required thorough research of at-risk communities, past intervention plans, and community resources. I chose this project because the skills we developed through these sections include teamwork, time management, and detail-oriented research imperative to working in diverse and interprofessional healthcare settings. These are the skills that I will bring to my professional career working in healthcare administration.
