Communities – Houston
A growing number of people are coming together to consider the health of Houston, and what we can do together to create an even healthier place for all to live and work. At the May 2009 launch, representatives from business, the public sector, research, academia, community organizations, and a broad range of health, health care and wellness expertise began to appreciate the rich diversity of strengths and needs throughout Houston, and identified significant opportunities to move forward.
CoH Houston builds on ongoing work within the Greater Houston area -- including activities under the stewardship of organizations such as MD Anderson; the University of Texas, Houston; the Mayor’s Wellness Council and the Houston Wellness Association -- and broadens the view to include social and environmental conditions that are the primary determinants of health. We invite you to participate: find out more.
