  • We nurture a Sense of Community and “Making Health a Shared Value” by increasing personal relationships, social networks and civic engagement.
  • We strive for “More Equitable Communities” by increasing neighborhood revitalization, stability, and safety and improving the economic environment, childhood education, and financial stability.
  • We seek “Integration of Health Services & Systems” to improve access to physical, mental health, and substance abuse education and services
