The Bethlehem Partnership for a Healthy Community is a collaborative of local businesses, government, educational, and community organizations who work together to improve the health status and quality of life with children and families living in Bethlehem and Fountain Hill. The Partnership’s three main strategic goals are to 1) improve access to care; 2) promote child and adolescent health; and 3) eliminate health disparities.
