To improve the health of Mission Hill residents and to empower Mission Hill residents regarding health and health access, through education and collaboration. The Mission Hill Health Movement (MHHM) is a volunteer group committed to collaboration and sustainability, to creating programs which function independently, and to building self-reliance and advocacy. We develop and maintain programs focused on health education, advocacy and improvement of the overall health of our community. MHHM gives Mission Hill residents information and tools to address and overcome community health issues which impact our quality of life, including diabetes, exercise, healthy food and air quality. As the financial climate has tightened and traditional health providers and educators are stretched thin, we believe it is increasingly important for the Health Movement to identify gaps in health education and care, and to creatively and collaboratively work to fill them.
