LCDR Foluke’s actions improved health outcomes, cultural identity, and resilience for vulnerable populations, exemplifying Daisy Health Equity Award values and USPHS mission. She designed a free 12-week culturally tailored program addressing diet equity to improve adherence to dietary guidelines. Eleven adult immigrants with chronic disease completed coaching on a healthy diet using cultural foods, included salt intake, cooking methods, and food alternatives —pending publication (Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health). This program improved health outcomes by improving Biometrics, behavioral, and dietary changes. It led to Positive attitudes: 70% to 100%; satisfaction: 80%; goal achievement: 70%.
LCDR Foluke co-founded a free 10-week peer-mentorship program known as Sister-to-Sister-CENLA in 2024. This program enabled four minority women with chronic diseases to achieve their health goals, including new health habits, swimming, hydration, and healthier eating. She directed BCOAG’s 2023 and 2024 Black History Month/Kwanzaa events, produced 10 videos, audio documentaries, 10 articles/recipes, and published a cookbook engaging 1500+ officers, promoted mental health and art therapy awareness, healthy eating, and social connection through cultural discussions, and role modeling in minority communities. She led 2024 PHS health observances (World TB Day, African Heritage & Health Week).
LCDR Foluke advocated for domestic violence victims via the Family Justice Center, presenting on bystander intervention to 200+ participants on October 8, 2024. Lastly, she partnered with the Salvation Army to prepare meals (3x); collected/delivered 57 hygiene kits to women's half-house shelters and unhoused persons, and integrated healthy living education.
