CHC Principles

SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE INVESTMENTS   
CHC invests in policies, projects, places, and people
to create and sustain equitable, inclusive opportunities for healthy eating and active living.


SELF-AWARENESS AND EMPATHY
Everyone involved in CHC prepares to engage in the work by strengthening self-awareness and empathy.

COMMUNITY-LED SOLUTIONS
Community members experiencing health inequities or social marginalization partner with CHC to amplify their collective power and lead solutions for their community.

ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
Organizations partner with CHC to align with and direct resources toward community members’ vision and priorities.

COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITY
CHC Coordinators approach their relationships and the work with humility, transparency, dependability, and respect for others. 

CHC Vision

Vibrant Ohio communities where everyone has access to healthy food and opportunities for active living


​CHC Mission

​Activating community-led solutions to create sustainable change in policies, places, and population health

​
