COMMUNITY-BASED MODEL

Project HEALTH strengthens local communities by mobilizing hospital resources into community centers and YMCA’s in families’ neighborhoods. Through education, mentoring, tutoring, field trips and fun, these afterschool programs empower children and their families with the knowledge and self-confidence to take control of their health. Community-Based programs further connect families from the same neighborhoods with each other, through parent days and parent advisory councils, developing community networks that will last long after the programs.
