Health

 

Our Goal
That families have equitable access to the opportunities and resources that supports their physical, mental, and social well-being, so all children grow up healthy to succeed in school and life.

Our Strategy
As part of our vision of a community where all children have a strong foundation for success in school and life, our approach includes health, education, and financial stability. To achieve this goal we partner with and support organizations in our community that improve the physical, mental, and social health of local families.
