Why WEforum?

Building Health and Wellness Equality By Amy McDonagh WEforum, Director of Strategic Development WEforum is a non-profit organization that began with a gem of an idea to promote health within our community. Instead of the typical fundraiser luncheon or silent auction, we thought a conference to educate our women friends and others about health issues would be a more impactful.  As we began researching and preparing for that initial conference, we were shocked when we realized the poor state of health in our country and in our community.

As covered in our article last week, our nation’s health statistics are mediocre and are declining. The same holds true here in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Chronic diseases account for 50% of deaths in the United States and those diseases do not discriminate along wealth, zip code, or ethnic lines. They affect all of us and in some cases, impact those in the lowest income brackets to a much larger extent. Our challenge was to come up with a model that enabled us to increase health and wellness education, and to provide access to resources and services for the entire community, not just those who could afford to attend the conference.
