Community
Wellness
Community Wellness is about individuals being supported in various conditions that they believe are important to their quality of life. When we have community wellness, individuals feel healthy, happy, safe, and proud to be residents of the EMMA and Beechwood neighborhoods. This brings people together – residents, service providers, neighborhood leaders, local government, and other human services organizations – to improve community wellness by leveraging resources. Residents deserve access to medical care, nutritious foods, and programs and services that promote wellness and make our neighborhoods a great place for everyone.
Residents should have access to high-quality health services and community facilities at a central location in the neighborhood. Services and programs should respond to resident needs and priorities.
Make residents partners in the process of achieving all Community Wellness recommendations.
The larger neighborhood should support safe, healthy, and enjoyable choices for adults and children. Streets, parks, gardens, and other public spaces should be designed and used to encourage safety, health, and wellness.
