This webinar will share an inventive strategy that advances health, economic and environmental vitality in overburdened and underserved populations, with a special focus on rural communities. Viewers will gain a better understanding of the Brownfields to Healthfields approach which remediates and transforms brownfields by increasing access to health care, recreation, healthy foods, renewable resources, education and jobs.
Presenters will feature a success story in Central Appalachia by the University of Pikeville (Pikeville, KY) that leveraged health, environmental, and economic resources to establish a health center on a former brownfields site. Also, a panel of federal agencies will highlight resources available to implement the Brownfields to Healthfields model which promotes healthy, equitable, sustainable and resilient communities for overburdened and underserved populations.
