In 2008, Palm Health Foundation<\/a><\/strong><\/span> began exploring ways to increase impact in Palm Beach County\u2019s most critical health areas.\u00a0 As the foundation committed to engaging community more and more, we realized the impact we were seeking could be best achieved through shifting focus to the social determinants of health and embracing resident leadership. This is our journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
