Making Healthy Connections
To generate excitement about our new training sessions, in 2015 CEMC and partners hosted Making Healthy Connections, three resource fairs to give residents the opportunity to learn more about BACH, healthy behaviors, and systemic issues that impact Bostonians. Our goal was to give people an opportunity to get involved with their communities and feel connected to organizations and coalitions in their neighborhoods that could help them as a way to improve coordination and integration of healthcare and community based prevention activities and services. The Making Healthy Connections resource fairs were held on Wednesday, March 4th, Monday, March 9th, and Tuesday, March 17th from 5:30pm to 8:00pm each day. Attendees were eligible to win raffle prizes and Food and childcare was provided at each event. Below were the locations for the three resource fairs of 2015.
