Health System Reform

Amidst all the talk about health care reform, it's important to recognize that access to health care is only part of the equation. A person's health is also affected by access to quality education, affordable housing, economic opportunity, healthy foods and recreational facilities - to name a few. This is why Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation is supplementing its free health care for the uninsured with an array of other community revitalization programs. These include: home repair, renovation and affordable resale of vacant homes, home foreclosure prevention counseling, youth mentoring, and local economic redevelopment. We're implementing "health system reform" in West-side Detroit. Check out our website (joysouthfield.org) to learn more about these programs and how you can participate in them. You can also sign up for our monthly e-newsletter.
