Building Healthy Communities, Prevention Movement Shifts Into High Gear
After 10 years of working with nonprofit organizations and gathering feedback from community partners on what can create measurable improvements in health status, The California Endowment begins its decade-long effort of Building Healthy Communities – places where children and youth are healthy, safe and ready to learn. After much research and deliberation, The Endowment selected 14 communities impacted by poverty, and is now planning to make deep, sustained and community-driven investments in these areas. Wrapped around these investments will be policy and systems-change goals to ensure that healthy communities are sustainable for generations to come.
