Boston Alliance for Community Health

Initiatives and Activities

"When you add us all up, BACH's membership is in the thousands. Some of us are from the neighborhood and some of us are from an organization. We may not always agree on everything, but in the end, we all want the same thing: safe and healthy communities."

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.
