WHAT IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM?<br />
A Community Health Team offers free wellness programs and services in your community. The range of programs<br />
and services offered by each Community Health Team are shaped by what we have heard citizens need to best<br />
support their health.<br />
Your local Community Health Team:<br />
• offers free group wellness programs at different times and community locations to make it easier for you to<br />
access sessions close to home.<br />
• offers free wellness navigation to help you prioritize health goals and connect to the resources that you need.<br />
• works closely together with community organizations toward building a stronger and healthier community.<br />
Meet friendly people and get healthier together at your local Community Health Team<br />
