I’ve been so impressed with the professionalism the Building Healthy Communities team offers its BHC leaders. Their meetings have a clear agenda, they offer great resources with an easy process to follow, and they are very responsive to my questions. I always walk away more educated after attending one of their sessions.
Jane Barnett , leader of Building Healthy Communities: Summit Medina in Ohio, USA
Being a leader empowers me to reach many others who are seeking better health in a way that is sustainable and enjoyable. My life changed when I transitioned to a whole foods plant-based diet. Starting a Healthy Community was a natural next step. I've found my life's purpose, which is to spread awareness, encourage and help others transform their health, which helps both animals and the planet. It's an honor to be a leader in BHC.
Laura Williams , leader of Whole Food Plant Based Lake Stevens and NW in Washington, USA
I've been a leader because I know the importance of like-minded communities in order for people to fully adopt and sustain a plant-based lifestyle. As part of the larger global BHC initiative, Plant-Based Pittsburgh strives to create a local community of health via meetings, potlucks, cooking demos, educational programs, recipe collections, outreach, as well as much-needed personal support and connection.
