Healthy Communities Task Force

The next Healthy Communities Task Force meeting is scheduled for:

this Wednesday, April 20th from 11 am-12 pm. We hope to see you there (virtually)!

This meeting will feature graduate students from Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health and Westphal College of Media Arts and Design, who will join us to share their recent research on public health, design, and the built environment. Students worked with different community-based organizations, including Fabric Health, Writer’s Room, IMPACT Services, and the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County, to examine social determinants of health and develop innovative solutions to community challenges. An agenda and speaker bios can be found here.

We had great discussions on how health and equity connect to many different aspects of planning, including transportation, climate change, and mortgage lending. We wrapped up our webinar series with a student research showcase, featuring two innovative student projects from a Drexel University design and public health course. Meeting materials, including agendas, meeting highlights, and recordings (for some of the meetings), are available on the HCTF website:
