Wednesday, June 13, 7-9pm, 
Community Health Center, 675 Main Street

Note: Community Health Center staff will provide a tour of their new facility beginning in the lobby at 6:30pm.

Please join us for an informal gathering to learn how you can partner with others in Middlesex County to improve the health and well-being of our community. The Coalition on Community Wellness is a partnership among residents, healthcare providers, schools, businesses, elected officials, and community organizations.
The Coalition on Community Wellness is part of a Community Transformation Grant (CTG) awarded to the CT State Department of Public Health by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Community Transformation Grants are designed to help fund sustainable health and wellness initiatives where people work, live, learn, and play. The grant has 5 strategic directions:

  1. Active living and healthy eating
  2. Tobacco-free living
  3. Evidence-based quality clinical and preventive services
  4. Social and emotional wellness
  5. Healthy and safe physical environments

The kick-off is sponsored by the Health Departments of Middletown, Middlefield, Durham, and Cromwell. Contact: Midge Malicki (203)623-1145 or mmalicki3@comcast.net
Light refreshments will be served.
Please RSVP by June 11.
