The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently awarded its 2019 Culture of Health Prize to five communities for their commitment to improving health for all residents: Broward County, Fla.; Gonzales, Calif.; Greenville County, S.C.; Lake County, Colo.; and Sitka, Alaska. “The 2019 RWJF Culture of Health Prize winners recognize that health is about more than just health care,” said RWJF President and CEO Richard Besser, M.D. “It’s about what happens where we live, work, learn, and play. They are fundamentally reshaping their communities so that everyone has a fair opportunity for health and well-being. These communities show the nation that solutions are within our grasp when we use local data to identify challenges and work together to implement solutions brought forward by residents.”
