Today’s post is the first in a series of three podcasts on the topic of a vision for the future of healthy communities. The series features excerpts from a conversation between Raymond J. Baxter, senior vice president of community benefit, research and health policy for Kaiser Permanente, and his long-time colleague, Tyler Norris, a trusted adviser to KP and other organizations on work that improves the health of people and places. In this first segment, Ray and Tyler consider what it means today to be a healthy community: How do we create opportunities for health in our neighborhoods, and how do we support — even protect — the healthy elements of living already in place?
Have a listen. Let us know what you think.
