Community Solutions - Health and Caring for All Community Solutions

    Health and Caring for All

    Strong Families = Successful Children

    Senior Success

    Learning and Earning for Life

    Goal: Promote health and wellness through education and prevention.
    We believe that our focus should be on prevention with emphasis on programs directed towards youth and their families. Eliminating problems early can have a significant long-term benefit and a child's behavior cannot be effectively changed if the family's issues are not addressed. We also believe that initiatives should be heavily weighted towards those communities and diseases with the greatest need. Disparities should be approached by sensitizing health care providers to the importance of equal treatment without regard to race or ethnic origin. Key to success in this area is the importance of improving school and educational attainment.

    Each investment committee is composed of clusters of programs. The three Health and Caring for All clusters are Health and Medical Family Support; Rehabilitation and Specialized Treatment; and Substance Abuse.
