BRINGING THE COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS THEY NEED!

By understanding, engaging, and supporting the individuals and organizations within our most vulnerable communities, we can create bold solutions to overcome obstacles and achieve a quality of life that fulfills the promise of life itself.

#SHWVFestival is a 2-day community-based health and wellness program that brings together residents and community resource providers to expand access to healthcare and enable self-advocacy in ways that advance public health outcomes and quality of life.

Find seminars, fitness classes, live music, AND food, as well as FREE health screenings at this year’s festival. The 2022 Sustainable Health and Wellness Village Festival will offer resources on location at no cost to festival attendees. Free eye exams, screenings, and eyeglasses! No appointment is required. 


OVERVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH & WELLNESS VILLAGE® FESTIVAL (SHWV)

The Sustainable Health & Wellness Village® Festival (SHWV) is a multi-day community-based health and wellness event that provides participants with ready access to healthcare and community resources within a culturally relevant, festival-like atmosphere designed to promote meaningful engagements between communities of color and regional providers. Over its seven years in operation, the SHWV has served underdeveloped areas and strongly impacted communities. With its innovative evidence-based model, it integrates acute care services and screenings with wellness education and lifestyle activities designed to address the full spectrum of determinants to overall wellbeing.

To promote a safe and fun environment where important health and wellness conversations can take place, the SHWV employs targeted incentives, entertainment, and recreation activities that are thoughtfully designed to appeal to each community’s unique tastes. Each SHWV program is planned in close collaboration with the community’s stakeholders, including all residents and local leaders to healthcare providers and business owners. It’s this custom collaboration that ensures the community resources and activities offered to reflect the needs and preferences of the specific community.
