It's an exciting week for BHPN as we launched the new Public Health Primer: Engaging Community Development for Health Equity! The primer was developed through a collaboration between Build Healthy Places Network and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) to establish mutually supportive collaborations between these two sectors to advance health equity. It emphasizes the importance of resident leadership and provides guidance on how relationship-building can address injustices and promote equitable change in communities. Explore the transformative journey of the new primer 👉 https://ow.ly/HivP50QE5e5 #ThoughtLeadership #UpstreamInvestments #BuildingBridges #EquitableChange #EquityInAction #SharedResponsibility #EquitableCommunities #VitalConditions

West Virginia is located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains and is largely rural with few densely populated communities. As a result, many community members struggle to access healthcare, social and educational services—resulting in stark health disparities that negatively impact the health, vitality and economic potential of individuals and broader communities. Learn how PHI’s Build Healthy Places Network is helping to improve the health of West Virginians and strengthening the state’s healthcare delivery system by supporting the Wild, Wonderful and Healthy West Virginia initiative—engaging participants, developing tools and resources and fostering connections with new sectors to advance racial equity, deepen investments and align resources that advance place-based health. https://lnkd.in/gMA4s-Cj
