If it takes a village to raise a child, what does it take to create a village?

It takes people who are committed to building the capacity of each person. 

For over twenty years, Westside Health Authority  (WHA) has been using the capacity of Chicago’s west-side residents to improve the health and well-being of their community.  WHA recognizes that being “healthy” also extends to personal relationships and the ability to find stable employment.

Sharing the story of their outreach and positive impact, Morris Reed, President & CEO of WHA, offers his insights into how his organization has been transforming lives. 

Their multi-faceted approach includes: community organizing, community re-entry and employment services, a technology center, economic development, health promotions and a youth development center.

How can each of us build a healthy community?  Why should we care?  How do we build the capacity of each person?

Tune in to get empowered!  Learn more about WHA by visiting www.healthauthority.org.
