In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, we wanted to share a few photos from our Hope in the Park event this weekend at Goodale Park. We were able to spend time remembering those whom we lost to overdose and supporting others who are on the road to recovery. Thank you to our community for showing up in a big way.

You may still see them out and about helping neighbors through September 7. Thank you for your patience as we work to support as many people as possible.

We are just two days away from Hope in the Park. Join us Saturday, August 29 at Goodale Park for this special gathering honoring International Overdose Awareness Day.

We’ll remember loved ones lost to overdose, support those impacted with community resources, and come together in a casual, kid-friendly, stigma-free space. We'll share a meal, have memorial gatherings, and offer wellness activities like yoga and a petting zoo for children. Please share and tag someone who should be there.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Feeding the Future with Franklin County WIC, Columbus Public Health, Ohio Department of Health, and CelebrateOne!

Together, we brought more than 60 community members and 7 organizations together to celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week and support families on their feeding journeys.

Attendees connected with local resources, learned from breastfeeding and maternal health experts, built community, and picked up much-needed baby items and supplies.

Thank you to our partners and everyone who helped make this event a success. Your support helps ensure families have the knowledge, resources, and village they need to thrive.

Check out our newly released Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)!

A community health improvement plan is a blueprint that helps communities tackle specific health needs by bringing together the right strategies, resources, and partnerships. It takes all of us to make change! Thank you to our dedicated partners for their contributions to this effort.
