There is ample evidence that poverty materially contributes to poor health status. Therefore, initiatives that target the health consequences of poverty must address the broad social and economic context of our community.
The Greater Rochester Health Foundation will support, and if necessary, work to establish public health interventions that seek to improve the health status of people who live in Greater Rochester's poorest neighborhoods.
This path may include initiatives that bridge the systems of health, education, housing and employment, thereby creating a healthy context for life and opportunity for improved health status.
