Health

United Way is working for a healthier community.

Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, United Way partners are working to improve the health of the community. Healthy and safe children are more successful in school. Healthy adults are more productive employees. And healthy elders are able to respectively age in their own homes.
