Engage residents to participate in community organizations, city government, education and healthcare to create equitable solutions
Evaluate community needs to identify health disparities and areas of need
Create programming, events and initiatives that focus on 5 areas: physical health & nutrition, trauma, built environment, youth opportunity, and community connection.
