Local projects
Building Healthy Communities is a ten-year, comprehensive community initiative funded by the California Endowment. Richmond is one of ten sites that is creating a revolution in the way Californians think about and support health in their communities. Healthy Richmond is the local hub for this initiative, uniting residents, stakeholders, and organizations to bring meaningful and lasting improvements to the health of children and youth in Richmond. http://healthyrichmond.net/
City of Richmond’s Health in All Policies (HiAP) initiative is an integrated and comprehensive approach to bring health, well-being, and equity considerations into the development and implementation of policies, programs, and services of traditionally non-health related government systems or agencies. It is based on the idea that health starts with where people live, work, learn, and play and that individual and community health is influenced by more than just individual choices. One’s physical and psychosocial environment, culture, government, etc. all play a role in influencing and determining both individual and population health. http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/index.aspx?NID=2575
The Richmond Digital Health Literacy Project works closely with City of Richmond staff who coordinate this initiative and its community engagement activities.
