Health

Our Focus: Health

Is there anything more fundamental to the quality of life in a community than good health and wellbeing? Loss of jobs, reduced health benefits in the workplace, and the high cost of health insurance affect access to health care for many families and individuals. The health of children and youth can impact their educational success and job readiness, further impacting economic outcomes for them and for the community. By helping our neighbors access high quality healthcare, we will promote wellness, better health care outcomes, and a higher quality of life for our community.
