Community Health Improvement Week 2021

This year as our nation moves further toward recovery and rebuilding after the COVID-19 pandemic and effects of long – term racial injustices, we’re highlighting three themes during Community Health Improvement Week (CHIW):

Reflect on health disparities illuminated by the pandemic and consider further actions needed to improve the health and well-being of all people.
Renew commitment to community health improvement, including working with cross-sector partners to better serve our communities.
Rise Together to strengthen our communities through collaborative and creative work and investment in our neighborhoods and one another.
