Member Duties : The Independent Health Foundation (IHF) creates community programs that engage residents in healthy lifestyle behaviors. IHF’s Good for the Neighborhood (GFTN) is a free, community-based wellness initiative created in 2006 to bring health awareness training and tools to people in at-risk and underserved neighborhoods, where access to healthcare is limited due to social and economic barriers. The VISTA will enhance the impact of the GFTN Turn-key program to effectively maintain partnerships, establish new relationships, and implement GFTN in underserved areas. The VISTA’s capacity building efforts would allow for the establishment of two additional GFTN sites, which would ultimately broaden the populations to be served and have a deeper positive impact on the improvement of these community members’ health and wellbeing.
