    Malikah Weston

    Consejera, de Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State

    POR QUÉ

    ¿Por qué Malikah Weston comienza su viaje de salud? Malikah Weston se amparó en sus beneficios de salud para ayudarla a lidiar con la ansiedad durante la pandemia, y sobrevivir a un tumor cerebral.

    Como consejera de Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State, Malikah Weston ha atendido a personas con discapacidades del desarrollo durante más de 10 años. “Me encanta lo que hago, y saber que las personas que amo podrán lograr más”, explica. Y cuando ella necesitó ayuda, supo que podía confiar en la cobertura de salud de su Fondo.

    La lucha durante la pandemia

    En el punto crítico de la pandemia de la COVID-19, Malikah comenzó a sufrir ansiedad y ataques de pánico nocturnos que le dificultaban dormir o respirar. “Todo estaba cambiando tan rápido”, comenta. “Era muy difícil comprender exactamente lo que estaba ocurriendo, o incluso solo encontrar equipo de protección personal”. Poco tiempo después, perdió a su hermano, con quien había sido muy unida, lo que profundizó su angustia. Malikah sabía que necesitaba ayuda y comenzó sesiones de terapia (primero de manera virtual a través de Teladoc y luego en persona) que la ayudaron a sobrellevar y acabar con los ataques de ansiedad.

    Luego, a menos de dos meses del nacimiento de su hija Serenity la primavera pasada, a Malikah le diagnosticaron un tumor cerebral. Los médicos le dijeron que necesitaba cirugía de inmediato o perdería la visión en al menos un ojo, y que la situación podría poner en peligro su vida. “Estaba tan asustada”, recuerda Malikah. “Pudo haber sido mortal, pero mi recuperación fue maravillosa. Sorprendí a todos al regresar tan rápido al trabajo. ¡Estoy sumamente agradecida por mis beneficios!”.

    “Mi recuperación fue maravillosa. Sorprendí a todos al regresar tan rápido al trabajo. ¡Estoy sumamente agradecida por mis beneficios!”.

    Cuidarse a sí misma para poder cuidar a los demás

    Debido a que la diabetes y la presión arterial alta son hereditarias en su familia, Malikah controla de cerca su salud. Camina 30 minutos todos los días en un parque cercano y está analizando volver a trotar, lo cual solía hacer en la escuela secundaria. También es cuidadosa con lo que come: evita la sal, come ensaladas, cambia las gaseosas por agua y prepara batidos con melón cantalupo, mango, espinaca y col rizada.

    A pesar de todas las dificultas a las que se enfrentó, Malikah continuó persiguiendo su sueño de algún día convertirse en administradora de casos o especialista en comportamiento. A través de sus beneficios de capacitación y formación, el junio pasado se graduó con honores y obtuvo una licenciatura en Servicios Humanos de la Universidad de Tecnología de la Ciudad de Nueva York.

    Mientras tanto, Malikah sigue disfrutando de ayudar a que sus seres queridos tengan vidas saludables y productivas. Admite que fue difícil superar sus obstáculos físicos y emocionales, pero comenta con una sonrisa: “Nada puede impedir que sea quien está destinado a ser. ¡En especial con sus beneficios de 1199SEIU!”.

    Tykar Williams

    Técnico en Fisioterapia, Mount Sinai Health System

    POR QUÉ

    ¿Por qué Tykar Williams comienza su viaje de salud? Perder peso y vivir sin dolor en las rodillas le ha permitido a Tykar disfrutar su vida plenamente.

    Tykar Williams es un técnico en fisioterapia que ha confiado en Mount Sinai Health System durante más de 25 años. Con el tiempo, se dio cuenta de que había subido de peso. Su observación casual se convirtió en una preocupación el verano pasado, cuando su médico de atención primaria le dijo que tenía prediabetes.

    “Quería volver a ser la mejor versión de mí mismo y evitar eventos desafortunados”, señala Tykar. Siguiendo las recomendaciones de su médico, cambió su dieta: dejó de comer tanta comida rápida y empezó a comer más frutas y ensaladas. Además, comenzó a ejercitarse, ir al gimnasio y caminar más. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que comenzara a ver resultados, los cuales le cambiaron la vida. “Cuando comencé a perder peso”, explica, “sentía menos presión en las rodillas, como si estuviera haciendo retroceder el reloj. Empecé a verme mejor y a sentirme mejor”.

    “Ahora me siento con mucha más energía y puedo pasar más tiempo con mis hijos”, afirma. “Incluso puedo ir a conciertos de hip-hop tantas veces como quiera. ¡Es increíble!”

    Tykar ha perdido más de 50 libras y no quiere volver atrás. Es por eso que se unió a WeightWatchers® a través de la nueva asociación del Fondo de Beneficios. “Después de haber perdido ese peso, quiero hacer todo lo posible para no volver a tenerlo”, señala. Específicamente, le gusta mucho la aplicación WeightWatchers®, que lo ayuda a hacer un seguimiento de sus comidas a través del sistema Points®. “El sistema me guía para elegir opciones saludables”, indica. “No vale la pena gastar puntos en los alimentos que estoy pensando comer. Además, me ayuda a tomar conciencia de lo que como”.

    Perfil del Miembro

  • Sharese Welch: Perfil del Miembro feature

    Sharese Welch: Perfil del Miembro feature

    Sharese Welch

    Anfitrión, Departamento de Servicios de Alimentación, NYU Tisch Hospital

    POR QUÉ

    ¿Por qué Sharese Welch comenzó su viaje hacia la salud? Como madre de tres hijos y felizmente casada durante más de 20 años, Sharese quiere estar ahí para su familia.

    Si bien muchos afiliados de 1199SEIU respondieron a la pregunta “Díganos su POR QUÉ” del Fondo de Beneficios, Sharese Welch estuvo especialmente feliz de participar en el concurso y ganar algunos regalos.

    Cuando le diagnosticaron diabetes por primera vez en 2019, no era afiliada de 1199SEIU. Sin embargo, su abuela la animó firmemente a formar parte de 1199SEIU. “Estoy feliz de que lo haya hecho. Tenía razón, mis beneficios han sido increíbles”, dijo Sharese. “Ahora, cuando voy a las citas con el médico, tengo la confianza de que todo estará cubierto”. Esta confianza ha ayudado a Sharese a tomar el control de su diabetes y su camino hacia la salud.

    En 2021, Sharese comenzó a utilizar un rastreador de pasos, que la ayudó a perder las 15 libras que subió durante los primeros días de la pandemia. Y no se detuvo ahí. Todavía usa el rastreador de pasos y ahora ha bajado 25 libras. “Es como una fi na joya que me ayuda a alcanzar mi objetivo cada día”, explicó Sharese. Llevarlo la anima a caminar tanto como pueda, por lo que toma decisiones mejores, como dar la vuelta a la manzana para tomar su taza diaria de café, incluso cuando hay una ruta más directa disponible. Los resultados de esta dedicación se han refl ejado en sus análisis de sangre. Sus niveles de A1C disminuyeron de 7.2 a 6.5 en solo tres meses, sin necesidad de medicamentos.

    Sharese también depende de la atención que recibe de su equipo de médicos en el NewYork-Presbyterian’s Weill Cornell Medical Center. Los chequeos regulares han sido parte de la vida de Sharese durante casi 20 años, pero sus benefi cios de salud 1199SEIU le permiten ver a su equipo de atención médica cuando lo necesita, sin preocuparse por deducibles y copagos. Su equipo de atención incluye a su médico de atención primaria, cardiólogo y endocrinólogo. Sharese cree que tener todo monitoreado en un solo lugar ayuda a garantizar que no se pierda nada. “Tengo un gran equipo que me ayuda a mantener todo bajo control; realmente me tratan como a una familia”, explicó. “Antes sentía que los costos estaban afectando mi bienestar. No iba a las consultas con mis médicos con tanta frecuencia como debería debido a que no podía permitírmelo. Ahora, si mi A1C sube, consulto a mi médico y no tengo que preocuparme”.

    “Tengo familiares que fallecieron a una edad temprana debido a diabetes y problemas cardíacos”, afirmó, “pero quiero estar al tanto de mi salud para que eso no me pase a mí”.

    Como anfi triona en el Departamento de Servicios de Alimentación del NYU Tisch Hospital, Sharese disfruta haciendo todo lo posible para mejorar la vida de sus pacientes. Una ventaja adicional es que el trabajo que realiza la ayudó a aprender la importancia de una alimentación saludable. Ha aprendido algunos consejos que la ayudan a controlar su diabetes, como limitar su consumo de carbohidratos y consumir alimentos saludables para el corazón.

    Además, está considerando unirse a WeightWatchers. “Creo que es fantástico que tengamos ese benefi cio ahora”, expresó Sharese. “Estoy muy emocionada por explorarlo”. [¡El equipo del Fondo de Benefi cios la anima a hacerlo!]

    Tener su salud bajo control le ha permitido a Sharese dedicar tiempo a hacer otra cosa que le gusta: leer. “Me encanta la paz que los libros pueden traer”, dijo. “Acabo de recibir mi nueva tarjeta de la biblioteca y mis hijos no pueden creer que todavía vaya allí. Pero estoy emocionada, como cuando gané el concurso”, expresó con una sonrisa.

  • Sofia Espinoza: Perfil del Miembro feature

    Sofia Espinoza: Perfil del Miembro feature

    Sofia Espinoza

    Auxiliar Residencial de Cuidados Paliativos, Staten Island University Hospital

    POR QUÉ

    ¿Por qué Sofia Espinoza emprende el camino hacia la salud? Como madre de tres hijos, quiere estar aquí para su familia.

    La vida de Sofia Espinoza cambió bastante desde que vino a Estados Unidos desde México, hace más de 30 años. Actualmente, es auxiliar residencial de cuidados paliativos en el Staten Island University Hospital, Northwell Health, pero Sofia tuvo muchos trabajos hasta llegar a este. En los primeros días en Nueva York, trabajó en una fábrica, pero, para ganar más dinero, solía viajar a Pensilvania para trabajar como niñera. Siempre se esforzaba y tenía metas bien altas. “Quería el sueño americano”, dijo.

    Sofia conoció a su marido Rutilo y se casaron hace 29 años. Tuvieron tres hijos: Nadia, Jesus y Dania. Como madre de tres niños, los años pasaron rápido para Sofia, pero una vez que crecieron, decidió que era momento de mejorar su inglés. En ese momento, trabajaba como auxiliar de cuidados en el hogar para Stella Orton Home Care Agency y vio un folleto de 1199SEIU con información sobre los hospitales que estaban contratando personal y lo necesario para postularse. Aunque no tenía título secundario, sus competencias lingüísticas en inglés recién perfeccionadas le dieron la seguridad para obtener el diploma de desarrollo de educación general (General Educational Development, GED, por sus siglas en inglés). Los beneficios del Fondo de Capacitación y Educación (Training and Education Fund, TEF, por sus siglas en inglés) le brindaron el apoyo que necesitaba. Asistió a clases todos los sábados y obtuvo el diploma mediante el Programa de Equivalencia de Escuela Secundaria de TEF en 2020.

    ¿Qué mantuvo unidos los sueños de Sofia durante todos estos años? Tener buena salud le dio la oportunidad de perseguir sus objetivos. Confía en los beneficios de salud para seguir su camino. Después de cuidar clientes y pacientes con enfermedades graves, Sofia quiere hacer todo lo que pueda para mantenerse saludable. Cuando le diagnosticaron diabetes y colesterol alto hace 20 años, Sofia entabló una relación a largo plazo con su médico, que le prometió ayudarle a cuidar su salud. “Es muy humilde y comprensivo”, afirmó. “Realmente es un gran médico. Estoy muy agradecida de tenerlo en mi vida”.

    El médico de Sofia le recetó medicamentos y le recomendó una dieta saludable. Por eso, dejó la comida chatarra y ahora opta por el agua saborizada de Seltz en lugar de los refrescos. Redujo la cantidad de tortillas que come y empezó a preparar recetas más saludables para toda su familia. El ejercicio también forma parte de su rutina de salud. Cuando Sofia llevó a su hija Dania a una consulta, el médico le dijo algo que le impactó mucho. “Me dijo que tenía que seguir viviendo por ella”, expresó. “Yo sabía que estaba en lo cierto”. El médico de Sofia le sugirió que caminara más para hacer ejercicio, y le recomendó que convirtiera los paseos en una actividad familiar. Ella se tomó en serio el consejo.

    “Lo hago por mis hijos”, dijo. “Debo estar sana para poder estar aquí con ellos, así que camino todos los días si puedo”.

    ¿Por qué se esfuerza Sofia? “Lo hago por mis hijos”, dijo. “Debo estar sana para poder estar aquí con ellos, así que camino todos los días si puedo”.

    En 2022 empezó a trabajar en su puesto actual en el Staten Island University Hospital. Sofia cree que haber obtenido su diploma GED es la razón por la que pudo dar el siguiente paso en su trayectoria profesional. Se siente agradecida de que en su nuevo trabajo pueda proporcionar consuelo a sus pacientes en sus últimos días. “Creo que Dios me puso aquí para ayudar a los pacientes a sentirse mejor”, afirmó. “Poca gente tiene la oportunidad que yo tengo en mi trabajo de mostrar compasión como ser humano”.

    Sin embargo, su nuevo trabajo no impidió a Sofia perseguir sus sueños. El año pasado, se hizo ciudadana estadounidense con el apoyo del Programa de Ciudadanía de 1199SEIU. La ayudaron a completar todos los formularios necesarios y le proporcionaron asistencia jurídica y la información que necesitaba para aprobar la prueba obligatoria. Incluso le enviaron un cheque de $500 para reembolsarle gran parte de las tarifas que pagó.

    “Estoy muy agradecida y feliz de que me hayan ofrecido este programa”, dijo. “Mis beneficios abren muchas puertas a la gente que, como yo, quiere una vida mejor”.

    Malikah Weston

    Direct Care Counselor, the Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State

    WHY

    Why did Malikah Weston begin her health journey? Malikah Weston counted on her health benefits to help her deal with anxiety during the pandemic—and survive a brain tumor.

    As a Direct Care Counselor at the Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State, Malikah Weston has cared for people with developmental disabilities for more than 10 years. “I love what I do, knowing the people I care for will be able to do more,” she explains. And when she needed help, she knew she could rely on her Benefit Fund’s health coverage.

    Struggling Through the Pandemic

    At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malikah began to suffer from anxiety and nightly panic attacks that made it hard to sleep or breathe. “Everything was changing so quickly,” she says. “It was very difficult to learn exactly what was going on, or even just to find personal protective equipment.” A short time later, she lost her brother, with whom she had been extremely close, deepening her distress. Malikah knew she needed help and began therapy sessions—first virtually through Teladoc and later in person—that helped her cope and end the anxiety attacks.

    Then less than two months after her daughter, Serenity, was born last spring, Malikah was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her doctors told her she needed surgery immediately or would lose sight in at least one eye—and that the situation could be life-threatening. “I was so scared,” Malikah remembers. “It could have been deadly, but my recovery was great. I shocked everyone by being back at work so quickly. I’m extremely grateful for my benefits!”.

    “My recovery was great. I shocked everyone by being back at work so quickly. I’m extremely grateful for my benefits!”

    Caring for Herself so She Can Care for Others

    Since both diabetes and high blood pressure run in her family, Malikah carefully monitors her health. She walks 30 minutes each day in a nearby park and is thinking about taking up jogging again, which she used to do in high school. She’s careful about what she eats, too, avoiding salt, eating salads, swapping out soda for water, and making smoothies with cantaloupe, mango, spinach and kale.

    Despite all of the challenges she faced, Malikah continued to pursue her dream of one day becoming a case manager or behavioral specialist. Using her training and education benefits, she graduated last June with honors and a bachelor’s degree in Human Services from the New York City College of Technology.

    Meanwhile, Malikah continues to enjoy helping those she cares for live healthy, productive lives. She admits it was a struggle to overcome her physical and emotional hurdles, but she says with a smile, “Nothing can stop you from being who you are destined to be. Especially with your 1199SEIU benefits!”

    Tykar Williams

    Physical Therapy Technician, Mount Sinai Health System

    WHY

    Why did Tykar Williams begin his health journey? Weight loss and pain-free knees have allowed Tykar to fully engage in life.

    Tykar Williams is a Physical Therapy Technician who’s been with Mount Sinai Health System for over 25 years. He noticed over time that he had put on weight. His casual observation turned to concern last summer, when his primary care physician told him he had prediabetes.

    “I wanted to be the best version of myself again and avoid unexpected things sneaking up on me,” Tykar says. Following his doctor’s recommendations, he changed his diet—cutting down on fast food and eating more fruits and salads. Then he started exercising, going to the gym and walking more. It wasn’t long before he began to see results, which he calls life-changing. “When I started losing weight,” he explains, “I felt less pressure on my knees, like I was turning back the clock. I started to look better and feel better.”

    “I feel more energetic now, so I can spend more time with my kids,” he says. “I can even go to hip-hop concerts as often as I like. It’s great!”

    Tykar has lost over 50 pounds and has no intention of looking back. That’s why he joined WeightWatchers® through the Benefit Fund’s new partnership. “Having lost that weight, I want to do what I can to keep it off,” he says. He particularly likes the WeightWatchers® app, which helps him track his meals using the Points® system. “That system guides me to choose healthy options,” he says. “The meal I’m thinking of may not be worth the points! Plus, it helps me to be more knowledgeable about what I eat.”

    Sofia Espinoza’s life has changed quite a bit since she came to the United States from Mexico over 30 years ago. She is currently a Residential Hospice Aide at Staten Island University Hospital, Northwell Health, but Sofia worked a lot of jobs on her way to this one. In her early days in New York, she was a factory worker, but to earn extra money Sofia regularly traveled to Pennsylvania to work as a babysitter. She was always striving and had her sights set higher. “I wanted the American dream,” she said.

    Sofia met her husband Rutilo, and they were married 29 years ago. They have three children: Nadia, Jesus and Dania. As a mother of three, the years passed quickly for Sofia, but once the kids were grown, she decided it was time to improve her English. She was working as a Home Health Aide for the Stella Orton Home Care Agency around this time and saw an 1199SEIU flyer that provided information about which hospitals were hiring and what you needed to apply. Although she didn’t have her high school diploma, her newly improved English language skills gave her the confidence to pursue her GED diploma. Her Training and Employment (TEF) benefits provided the support she needed. She attended classes every Saturday and earned her diploma through TEF’s High School Equivalency Program in 2020.

    What’s the glue that’s held Sofia’s dreams together over the years? Having good health has given her the opportunity to pursue her goals. She relies on her health benefits to keep her that way. After taking care of clients and patients with severe health issues, Sofia wants to do everything she can to stay healthy. When she was diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol 20 years ago, Sofia built a long-term relationship with her doctor, who promised to work with her to keep her healthy. “He is very humble and understanding,” she said. “He really is a great doctor. I am so thankful I have him in my life.”

    Sofia’s doctor prescribed medication and recommended that she eat a healthy diet. So, she cut out junk food and now chooses flavored seltzer over soda. She limits the number of tortillas she eats and started making healthier recipes for her whole family. Exercise is also a part of her health journey. When Sofia brought her daughter Dania along with her to an appointment, her doctor told her something that really hit home. “He told me I need to stay alive for her,” she said. “I knew he was right.” Sofia’s doctor suggested that she walk more for exercise, recommending that she make walking a family activity. She took the advice seriously.

    “I do it for my children. I need to be healthy so I can be here with them, so I walk every day if I can!”

    Why does Sofia make the effort? “I do it for my children,” she said. “I need to be healthy so I can be here with them, so I walk every day if I can!”

    In 2022, she started working in her current role at Staten Island University Hospital. Sofia believes that earning her GED diploma is the reason she was able to take the next step in her career. She feels grateful that in her new job, she is able to provide comfort for her patients in their final days. “I believe God put me here to help patients feel better,” she said. “Not many people have the opportunity that I have in my job to show compassion as a human being.”

    Landing her new job didn’t stop Sofia from pursuing her dreams, though. Last year, she became a U.S. citizen with the support of the 1199SEIU Citizenship Program. They helped her navigate all the forms that needed to be filled out and provided legal assistance and the information she needed to pass the required test. They even sent her a check for $500 to reimburse her for a big part of the fees she paid!

    “I am so grateful and happy that this program was there for me,” she said. “My benefits offer so many opportunities for people like me who want a better life.”
