The Launch of the ‘Heavenly’ Health + Healing Hubs in Fort Worth’s 76104 and 76105 Communities



The Launch of the ‘Heavenly’ Health + Healing Hubs in Fort Worth’s 76104 and 76105 Communities


“We are elated to announce a transformative milestone: a generous award from Texas Health Resources has enabled Healthier Texas to collaborate with Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr., Teresa Wagner, DrPH, CPH, RDN/LD, CPPS, FNAP, CHWI, DipACLM, CHWC, and the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas to pilot the ‘Heavenly’ Health + Healing Hubs in Fort Worth’s faith-based communities.


This initiative is of utmost importance for the 76104 and 76105 ZIP codes, two of the most underserved areas in Fort Worth. These communities experience some of the highest rates of chronic illnesses—such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease—in Texas. Limited access to healthcare, widespread food insecurity, and systemic economic challenges have contributed to alarming health disparities. In 76104, the average life expectancy is just 67 years, the lowest in the entire state of Texas.


The ‘Heavenly’ Health + Healing Hubs aim to address these disparities head-on by establishing vital spaces within faith-based settings, where trusted leaders and organizations can deliver accessible, culturally attuned health interventions. These hubs will focus on four key pillars:

• Preventative care to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases.

• Nutrition education to combat food insecurity and encourage healthier living.

• Mental health services to support emotional well-being and resilience.

• Chronic disease management to enhance quality of life and improve long-term health outcomes.


By engaging faith leaders and leveraging their trusted voices in these communities, the hubs will deliver solutions that resonate deeply and foster meaningful change. These spaces will also empower residents with the tools, education, and resources needed to take control of their health and cultivate lasting well-being for themselves and their families.


The ‘Heavenly’ Health + Healing Hubs are more than just a health initiative—they are a beacon of hope and a pathway to a healthier, more equitable future for the residents of 76104, 76105, and beyond. This bold, collaborative effort underscores Healthier Texas’ mission to dismantle barriers to health and ensure every individual has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their ZIP code.


Together, we are laying the foundation for a brighter, healthier tomorrow—one hub, one family, and one community at a time.”

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
