Health Happens Here! 
Building Healthy Communities Merced is a coalition of residents, young people, agencies, and community-based organizations working together to create and encourage thriving communities where all children and families can live healthy, safe and productive lives.
At its very core, Building Healthy Communities is about bringing people and organizations together to make Merced a place where all children are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
When it comes to our health, our zip code matters more than our genetic code. For many communities in California and across the United States, easy access to healthy food options, parks for exercise, and good schools determines quality & length of life.
The Building Healthy Communities initiative seeks to bring equity to all neighborhoods so that all Californians can enjoy the benefits of healthy communities to live long and prosper. It’s time to change the odds for everyone.
It is time to truly invest in everyone. #MercedCommunitiesRise
