WE GROVE PARK
Community wellness is measured by the health of Grove Park’s individual residents and the community-wide factors that support better health outcomes. In a neighborhood where residents have a life expectancy that is 12.5 years lower than residents of a neighborhood just a few miles away, Grove Park Foundation is committed to closing the gaps for families to have access to what they need to have a healthy quality of life.
Create accessible community spaces and health partnerships that support the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of children and families.
By the Numbers
Whitefoord Woodson Park Health Center is Grove Park Foundation’s school-based health partner serving the students and families from the Woodson Park Campus. They provide affordable medical, dental, and behavioral health services and partner in community health initiatives.
Thriving communities need spaces that nurture body, mind, and spirit. Grove Park Foundation will provide arts education and performance at the Grove Park Performing Arts Center, community space activation at the Corner Market @ Hollowell, and promote park and trail connections that provide the “third spaces” that define thriving community health.
