Health in All Policies Community Workshop – Thursday 11/29, 6-7:30PM, Richmond Council Chambers
Health in All Policies (HiAP) recognizes that the causes of health disparities and the resulting health inequities are the consequence of a variety of social factors that impact individuals and communities "upstream," beyond the scope of traditional health services. This concept acknowledges that all city departments impact health, even those that we do not traditionally consider as conducting health-related work. The City Richmond’s Health in All Policies Strategy is a collaborative approach with the goal of improving health equity by addressing the social determinants of health and integrating health into the decision making processes across all departments of the City.
Those interested in this Health in All Policies effort can learn more about this strategy and provide feedback at a meeting Thursday evening at 6:00PM in the City Council Chambers.
