Perspective on Health Equity
To us, this means providing all residents and workers in JC with the ability and resources to make culturally appropriate healthy choices, about food, access to movement, work-life balance, and mental health support. It includes everything from creating a walkable city to incentivizing healthy food businesses to come to the city to turning vacant lots into community gardens to reducing waste and air pollution to offering mental health services (and much more.)
