National Rural Health Day, celebrated on November 21, honors the dedication of rural healthcare providers and organizations addressing the unique health needs of rural America. Committed to health equity, we are deepening ties with rural communities through investments, partnerships, and the creation of a Rural Health Resource page to better support these areas and address critical needs.
Our November newsletter is here! 🎉 Celebrate #NationalRuralHealthDay on Nov. 21 with events from SOAR, Clyde Savannah Galen, and the Independent Living Center – Batavia.
We’re highlighting Men’s Health Awareness Month with the YMCA of Greater Rochester’s Boys and Young Men of Color Initiative.
Discover updates from Healthy & Equitable Futures partners like the National Parent Leadership Institute and Pediatric Behavioral Health & Wellness.
In our October 2024 newsletter we’re celebrating the work of Project SOAR (Strengthening Our Area Residents), a grantee partner in our Neighborhood Health Status Improvement initiative. The Wayne County towns of Galen and Savannah, including the Village of Clyde and hamlet of Savannah, were the sites for this initiative. Over the past 11+ years, Project SOAR has empowered residents in these rural communities to work together and collaborate with organizations, businesses, and institutions to improve the health of the community.
