“HCP has been invaluable in helping me connect my work in community infrastructure with efforts to strengthen local food systems. The partnership creates space where ideas and action around food security, wellness, and place can come together in practical ways.”

" What makes the Health Community Partnership special is how people come together for the good of the Mahoning Valley and surrounding areas. In 2024, we showed that when we listen, collaborate, communicate, and act as one, we can make lasting improvements that touch the lives of families across our community for many generations to come" 

"I’ve had the opportunity to learn and grow through the many meaningful relationships HCP connected me with. These connections significantly enhanced my ability to improve health and wellness in the community. Along the way, I also made lasting friendships, which made the experience even more rewarding."

"I often say, "We can do more together" because it is a simple truth. If looking for an answer someone in the room usually has it. The same applies to resources, connections, knowledge, strategy, experience. The built-in advantage about partnerships is that we are mostly like-minded. That saves a lot of time when it comes to engaging and inspiring others to participate and take action."
