Building our Culture of Health Network

August 30, 2024

In April, Palm Health Foundation and partners convened at the Community Changemakers Gathering to celebrate the Culture of Health Network that formed The Community Changemakers Fund, and learn about the projects that applied for and received funding to continue their health advancement work. 



Following the event, Heather DeStefano, our director of grants and community partnerships, and Jeanette Gordon of McArthur’s Own, were interviewed on 104.7 The Flame radio to share about the Culture of Health Network’s innovative, collaborative process for advancing Palm Beach County Health.

Aspen Institute spotlighted BeWellPBC , a Palm Beach County behavioral health movement supported by Palm Health Foundation, and their Community Connectors , a group of advocates that help improve the health and wellbeing of their neighborhoods by serving as a bridge between residents and private and public health services.  These Community Connectors are deeply trusted and have helped their communities navigate complex health challenges – like when one neighbor didn’t know what to do when her husband was admitted to a nursing home as his dementia worsened.
