Mind, Body and Spirit: What is YOUR vision for a healthy JP/Egleston?

The JP Health Planning Committee of the JP Tree of Life/Arbol da Vida, wants to learn more about your vision of community health. This meeting is open to all JP/Egleston residents and those who work in the community. Our youth leaders will facilitate the discussion and dinner will be provided. Childcare and transportation are available if you email nocemnoce@aol.com or call 1-508-981-9091 in advance.. The JP Health Planning Committee envisions a JP where all residents have a fair chance for a long and healthy life. All residents will have access not only to health care, but to healthy housing, meaningful work, a safe community, quality education and other social factors that enable good health. Our legacy of racial injustice has been replaced by an awareness of the need to address racism in all forms. The committee is made up of health care providers, representatives of JP based organizations and residents of JP and Egleston Square. For over 15 years, the group has sought to promote a healthier community through planning, education, and direct service.
