Healthy Communities

When we picture a healthy Savannah, it is inclusive of all people – regardless of ability, age, income level, race, or neighborhood. Everyone must have equitable access to the resources they need to live their healthiest life. How can we make work, play, faith spaces, and neighborhoods healthier to benefit all Savannah? 

Healthy Savannah’s work over the past 13 years has been successful in reducing the gap in health equity. That is the power of our 200-member coalition, our close relationships with the local government leaders, the faith-based community, and residents in our priority population and neighborhoods.

We will continue to advocate for and implement policy, systems, and environmental change (PSE) to achieve a culture of health in the Savannah-Chatham Community.
