Sep 21, 2018 10:00 AM Creating American's City for Health One of the greatest assets of the Rochester region is the level of engagement and volunteerism around issues of health and community. However, in some cases these initiatives and programs are being done in isolation which causes confusion and at worse competition for resources. In response to this, the working group determined that the best approach is to 1) assess the initiatives/programs already in place, 2) share (make visible) the initiatives/programs within and across the community 3) connect community needs with associated initiatives/programs, and 4) support initiative/program development to best fill community gaps.
