Welcome to Building Healthy Communities, a Physicians Committee Action Network!
Meet Our Communities
Building Healthy Communities is a global grassroots movement that brings people together to reimagine a healthier world.
Launched nearly a decade ago, the initiative was born from a powerful call to action in the award-winning documentary PlantPure Nation—a spark that ignited a movement for change.
Now led by the Physicians Committee, Building Healthy Communities empowers local leaders to foster strong community connections, support plant-based lifestyles, and provide educational programming that makes a lasting impact.
Healthy Communities organize a wide variety of events for the community:
- Plant-based potlucks, cooking demonstrations, and restaurant visits
- Documentary screenings, book clubs, and expert lecture presentations
- Volunteer days, community outreach, and advocacy
With a growing network of independent community groups spanning cities, towns, and rural areas across the world, Building Healthy Communities is creating meaningful change—one connection at a time.
