Wyandot BHN congratulates Chandra Green, Director of Alive & Thrive Wyandotte County, for being honored as a Regional Health Equity Champion at the Heartland Conference on Health Equity and Patient Centered Care.
Green was selected for the award by the Heartland Regional Health Equity Council in recognition for her commitment to the objectives of the Heartland Conference on Health Equity and Patient Centered Care, including exploring strategies to preserve the health of our communities and understanding perspectives to address community and population health. Chandra says Alive & Thrive works to promote health equity through their work on trauma and mental health.
“We work to meet the community where we are and assist in the fight for resilience and healing,” says Green. "The trainings we offer are collaborative and interactive to allow for those attending to take time to realize where they are on their own journey and work from there. The community projects are created by and through the lens of the community so they have an active voice in how they process trauma and participate in their own healing. We also make the effort to help the agencies that serve our community become more trauma informed so when our community reaches out for help regarding health and other resources, they are treated in an equitable manner.”
