be well Health & Wellness Initiative

be well is a grassroots movement of communities coming together to take charge of their health and wellness. The mission of be well is to affect programs, policies and practices to create health equality and access for all people. be well’s vision is for a culture in which all people have an equal opportunity to achieve the health they desire, regardless of their race, income, gender, location, education or any other social barrier.

be well is guided by the be well Community Collaborative, which is a multisector partnership driven by residents that forms the guiding voice of the be well Health and Wellness Initiative. The group talks with people in their neighborhoods, sets annual goals, identifies potential barriers and monitors the use of be well funds. Key individuals leading this project are experts in engaging people that have been overlooked and most impacted by disparities.
