Healthy Hermosa
Working Together for a Healthier Chicago
Healthy Hermosa is a coalition made up of community residents, local services providers, agencies, organizations, businesses, and others interested in the health of the Hermosa community.
Beginning in September 2002, Healthy Hermosa undertook a strategic planning process to identify resources and gaps in the community. Based on community members' experiences, data that describe the community, and the availability of local resources, the coalition identified key areas of concern. Coalition members developed strategies to address the identified issues, and have now collaborated and formed new linkages to accomplish their goals.
Four key action areas have been identified:
- Community Awareness
- Community Education
- Community Building
- Community Voices
Coalition members meet monthly to work on action areas, network, and to continue to plan for the health of Hermosa's community.
Vision:
The Healthy Hermosa Coalition builds collaborations and partnerships to ensure higher quality of life by promoting:
- Safety
- Education
- Community involvement and investment
- Family unity
- Multilingual/multicultural services
- Violence intervention and prevention
- Access to quality health care
- Healthy lifestyle choices
for
all those who live, work, and visit the Hermosa community.
