Why This Committee Is Being Formed
The Community Health & Wellness Ad-Hoc Committee is established by the Pine Hills Community Council, Inc. to plan, coordinate, and support community-based health and wellness initiatives that improve access to preventive care, health education, and social service resources for Pine Hills residents.
Its primary responsibility is to organize and support the implementation of the Pine Hills Community Council Health, Wellness & Resource Fair, planned for February 2027 in recognition of Black History Month, along with other related initiatives that connect residents with healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and community resource partners.
Preserving a Clean, Safe & Prosperous Community
The committee supports PHCC’s mission by expanding access to resources that improve quality of life and by bringing together residents, organizations, service providers, and community leaders around a shared purpose.
