Congratulations to our
Outstanding Leadership Awardees

This award recognizes an individual and/or community organization that goes above and beyond to serve their community, and whose values align wholeheartedly with the mission of Healthy RC! |

George has a heart of service and continues to equip himself with the skills and capacity to advocate for health policies and programs in the community. His love for the community is seen when he volunteers to make scarves or hygiene kits for the unsheltered, assists RC Fire District with installing smoke alarms, and trains to become a LISTOS disaster prevention instructor to share emergency preparedness resources with the community. |

The Mental Health Youth Leaders Research Group dedicates hundreds of hours to de-stigmatizing mental health regionally and statewide by developing strategies for teen mental health support. They have been trained in suicide prevention skills to provide peer-to-peer support, facilitated discussions at citywide teen events in a supportive, judgment-free environment, and continue to widely share their stories. |

|
|
Alignment Healing Center is the first to say yes to share free wellness resources and foster a culture of health in the community. Their staff shares their expertise and passion for wellness at several community workshops, resource fairs, and committee meetings and gives residents access to the tools and knowledge to prioritize health, body, and spirit. |
