Do you want to help build a healthier community in Ventura County?

A healthy community depends on human, institutional, organizational and environmental resources available within the community. Community happens when people connect with each other. The healthy community encourages interaction. We support efforts to create or expand on the types of systems that make up the healthiest, most equitable communities. For instance:

• Consideration of health and equity in decisions about how communities are planned, designed and built; and that encourage healthy living

• Local data that help illustrate what a healthy community can look like, identify local gaps and challenges, set common goals for improvement;

• Networks of people and organizations who appreciate the many social, economic and environmental factors that shape health - and want to make a difference.

These efforts require the engagement of all sectors of a community. It takes a lot of hard work. But communities are transforming in ways that put better health within everyone's reach. Being part of the solution means we commit ourselves to building healthier communities through individual, organizational and community wide effort and engagement.
