Help Us Muralize the King Community Room
I n an effort to embrace a comprehensive definition of health that includes social and emotional
well-being , the Health Trust has partnered with local artist Jaime Sanchez to muralize the walls of the Kathleen King Community Room. Thousands of community members use the room annually, and we want to ensure it's a beautiful, welcoming place to gather.

On the Horizon

 

The Health Trust will be working with PVUSD in the 2017-2018 school year to equip elementary school teachers and social emotional counselors with training and self-care strategies that enhance their resilience and support them to

create calmer classroom environments. Stay tuned for more details as this partnership develops.

 

At the Diabetes Health Center, we'll soon begin a year-long coaching arrangement with Qualis Associates intended to improve the quality and effectiveness of our health education and therapeutic services. We'll be looking for ways to improve patient satisfaction and diversify the types of support we're able to offer to individuals and families seeking to improve their health. Look forward to updates on our progress.
