Crossover Health Services by Cyndi Schneider
Having somewhere for people to come and see a physician right here in our community is truly a blessing.” -Cyndi S.
I
get to work at Crossover Health Services (CHS) as a Dietitian and Diabetes Educator! What I do is not what’s most important though. It’s what people do to help themselves and their family using information about food or diabetes. In the world of Nutrition, we make around 200 decisions about food every day (Mindless Eating, Wansink). My job, with God’s help, is to
encourage good food choices to promote good health. Yes, food works like medicine! There is a connection of eating 2 fruits and 3 vegetables every day to having a longer life span (Harvard Public Health, 2021). It takes time and a community of support to make changes though. CHS and a larger community support organization called Crossover Community Impact all strive to help support north Tulsa in this important way! Coffee is my initial link to Crossover Health Services. In 2014, a coffee buddy went to meet Dr. Kent Farish to learn about a health clinic in north Tulsa. So, my coffee group prayed for what turned out to be Crossover Health Services. I was involved in prayer support only for several years. I watched CHS grow and flourish while I worked as a Dietitian at a Diabetes Center elsewhere. It was often said, “we sure could use a Dietitian at Crossover!” When my Diabetes Center closed in 2019, I came running. I thought I was coming to help, but I have been the one who has been blessed. Crossover Health really strives to love on every person who comes walking through the doors.
