Healthy People
Environmental Health Watch believes in the overall health and wellbeing of all people. Everyone should have access to the knowledge and ability to build a healthy lifestyle, and our work focuses on eliminating negative social determinants of health stemming from racism, poverty, and other marginalizing factors. EHW’s Healthy People programs focus on community access to healthy food, access to and activation of political power, and overcoming the systemic barriers preventing people from living a healthy lifestyle.
Resources
Cleveland citizens should be equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to survive and thrive re-generatively.
Areas of Focus
Food
Cleveland citizens should have unlimited access to healthy food.
Justice
Cleveland citizens should be free of worry over their well-being due to societal bias and structures and systems designed for marginalization that increase negative health outcomes whether directly or indirectly.
Our Programs
A variety of societal contexts re- enforce false narratives about large groups of people which extends marginalization and stagnates personal health. EHW works to partner and engage citizens to advocate for themselves, realize and exercise their power for the betterment of their communities and quality of life.
