I GAVE UP ON MY GOAL

Imagine walking into a patient’s room, expecting routine care, but finding a reality far worse than what’s written on paper. Diabetes was just a word to me—until I saw its disabling, deadly impact on nearly 1 in 10 people in the U.S. This firsthand experience inspired my transition from a career as a pediatric surgeon to a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES®️).

Jenkins Public Health Consulting®️ was established in 2018 to support health organizaitons and businesses with an intentional focus on preventing the suffering caused by preventable chronic diseases and injuries among children, youth, and adults.
