Join Community Stakeholders to Discuss Critical Issues in the Midlands
June 17, 2009
It’s time to face the facts!
Join community stakeholders to discuss critical issues in the midlands.
What: Facing Facts 2008 Community Briefing
Creating a financially stronger, healthier and better employed community cannot be addressed without understanding the problems facing people of the area. That’s why seven organizations formed a partnership to study these complex issues. Analysis of responses from residents and community leaders identified four central issues detailed in the Facing Facts 2008 assessment of health and human service needs in Richland and Lexington counties. This survey continues the work of defining and prioritizing areas for attention begun with the first Facing Facts survey in 2004. Supported by this analysis, the community and its leaders, funders and service providers can work together to implement strategies that create real, ongoing and lasting change.
