The Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has delivered The Good Health Kiosk to Springfield City Hall! The Good Health Kiosk arrived in Springfield today, February 4th, which also happens to be World Cancer Day.
The interactive educational kiosk was made from decommissioned desks. It conveys tips for reducing risks for Cancer through everyday tasks in simple language on spinning blocks. Additionally, there are QR codes on the blocks allowing for resources to be accessed even after a visit to the station. The blue blocks in the middle are a tic-tac-toe board – come try it out! The Kiosk was designed by the Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and made with repurposed materials like old Harvard dormitory desks. The Kiosk is making its way around Western Mass, and was recently hosted in Chicopee.
Springfield is pleased to welcome this educational resource to the city. Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, on behalf of the City of Springfield, is proud to join, once again, with the Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to recognize World Cancer Month in Springfield as we unite to take action against cancer.
The kiosk is located on the ground floor of Springfield City Hall. We encourage all to visit, interact, and stay tuned for more! Good Health is Within Your Reach!
