Community Health and economic prosperity

 The link between health and wealth has become such a strong connection that the United States Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, has launched the Community Health and Economic Prosperity (CHEP) Initiative.  By using a multi-pronged approach this initiative focuses on engaging businesses to be community influencers for health, implementing solutions to help improve and sustain the health of communities (such as comprehensive smoke-free policies and affordable housing), strengthening communities to be places of opportunity for health and prosperity for all.  CHEP, along with organizations like NorCal 4 Health, are all striving to improve health and increase opportunity.  The clear path forward shows us that where there is health, there is wealth.
