Creating Healthy Communities

Healthy families, healthy communities
LISC, PACDC, & Jefferson U to offer training on healthy community development strategies
It turns out that how healthy we all are is greatly determined by our zip codes. That’s why across the country LISC is pursuing partnerships between community development organizations and health providers, helping people stay healthy by revitalizing neighborhoods and encouraging social involvement. (To learn more about this approach, check out this article by LISC National Program Director for health, Amy Gillman).
