Our Mission
Make Health Happen ESTL Coalition is working to improve food access and promote healthy spaces in East St. Louis, Illinois.
We are committed to decreasing the barriers to healthy living by bringing together multiple sectors and community members to work collectively. Creating health equity is our guiding priority. A multitude of factors negatively impact the health of our residents and prevent them from reaching their full potential, which includes food access, limited employment opportunities, housing, education, health care, and public safety. We recognize the issues are complicated and will require a multifaceted approach.
Make Health Happen strives to create social and physical environments that promote healthy living for all.
