Join us for the second webinar in the three-part Implementing Model Practices in Your 

Community series to learn more about innovative approaches to community engagement that 

lead to equity and access to healthy food. The Florida Department of Health in Manatee 

County will discuss their efforts to implement community-driven healthy food access in 

underserved communities. Their process provides a model for successful collaboration 

between cross-county sectors and a framework to applying multi-tiered community engagement 

results for program implementation. The Kansas City Health Department will discuss how 

strengthening a partnership between public health and community organizers led to cultivating 

a culture of health equity. Rather than working in the same areas but in silos, public health 

and a well-known community organizing group now work more efficiently and in tandem due to 

clearly defined mutual objectives.
