Evaluation of Projects
We assess the effectiveness of our projects and initiatives, in order to understand how a given intervention will improve the health and quality of life of community members. We will post updates, reports, and findings here to share with our community. This information helps guide our future programming and direction of our work.
Farmers Markets
Our Community Wellness Program collaborated with partners to improve the affordability of healthy foods, employ point of purchase signage, increase community members’ awareness of healthy food outlets and healthy food preparation, offer technical assistance to food retail outlets operating in food deserts, and implement communication approaches to increase awareness of location of healthy food options. Short-term intended outcomes of these farmers market interventions include reduced costs for, and increased knowledge and availability of, healthy foods.

Our Community Wellness Program conducted community interviews to better understand the current health status, health behaviors, and needs of the people we serve in 2016 and 2017. We are currently compiling the information we received, and will post reports and summaries here in fall of 2017.
