I am very familiar with the wonderful work that forms the basis for Building Healthy Communities Through Medical-Religious Partnerships, and I think it is an outstanding resource for those who want to engage the community, and connect with people where they live in order to improve health and well-being.
Places of worship – temples, churches, mosques and synagogues – also serve as important gathering places in many communities. They therefore provide an important venue for community-based health education and empowerment.
