Healthy neighborhoods are made up of healthy, thriving neighbors. When it comes to physical health, giving everyone a fair chance at flourishing starts long before the doctor's office. It often starts with food and fair, full access to nutritious, affordable fare. The Heart is revolutionizing access to nutritious meals in our quest for a healthier, more equitable future through one of our tenant partners, Legacy Café Orlando.

Healthy neighborhoods and health equity go hand in hand. When we ensure everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible, we all thrive. It's about more than medical care. It's about creating an environment where everyone can live their healthiest lives.

When we think of health equity, it’s about people receiving opportunities to be as healthy as possible. But “health” isn’t just about physical health. There is a powerful interplay between social and community ties and health equity. For the West Lakes communities, the Heart is the beating center for the community to thrive.
