Local leaders and residents in the Glades community have identified Behavioral Health as the critical health issue in their area and are collaborating with Palm Healthcare Foundation, utilizing the committed funds, to create lasting, impactful change.

Each community will select from Palm Healthcare Foundation’s three priority areas for Healthier Together - diabetes prevention and management, behavioral health and family caregiving.

Goals of the 5 year place-based initiative:

  1. To help change long-term health outcomes of the residents in Palm Beach County
  2. To increase capacity among individuals, organizations, and systems to impact lasting and sustainable
    change related to health and well-being
  3. To establish a learning framework to evaluate the overall impact of the Healthier Together initiative as well as the impact at the community level

The Healthier Together website functions as a window into these communities and the activities taking place within the 5-year project. Progress throughout the course of this initiative and among each of the selected communities will be documented throughout this website through mapping, digital stories, community-specific activities, the learning center where special interest groups engage and impact reports. Join the communities where you are making an impact.
