Partners in Health - Shanti Madison

Healthy People 2020 calls for a focus on root causes of chronic disease by creating social and physical environments that promote good health for all. Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE) at the Yale School of Public Health works to organize communities around health, identifying community-supported interventions to address the precursors and determinants of chronic disease, such as obesity. Our work in New Haven includes changing neighborhood environments to promote access to exercise and healthy food, including growing community gardens.
