Healthy People

EHW believes in the overall health and wellbeing of the people. EHW’s work in the Healthy People program advocates for resources, food, and justice to eliminate negative social determinants of health including racism, poverty, sexism, and limited knowledge of political power. EHW works to partner and engage citizens to advocate for themselves, realize and exercise their power for the betterment of their communities and quality of life.

Areas of Focus

Resources

Cleveland citizens should be equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to survive and thrive re-generatively.

Food

Cleveland citizens should have unlimited access to healthy food.

Justice

Cleveland citizens should be free of worry over their well-being due to societal bias and structures and systems designed for marginalization that increase negative health outcomes whether directly or indirectly.

Current Programs
