Through its partnership in Be Healthy Berrien, Corewell Health South is living out their vision of a community with collaborative partnerships working together to improve health outcomes and promote health equity.
Nicki is a seasoned public health professional with a focus on narrowing racial health inequities, building resilience of communities in the face of historical trauma, improving food access, and advancing the capacity of local health departments to effectively respond to upstream root causes of poor health outcomes. Nicki shared, “As a public health professional, I’ve seen firsthand how our health is a result of the influences in the places we live, work, play, and pray. It is my life’s work to be part of ensuring people have equitable access to the life conditions that lead to good health.”
Be Healthy Berrien’s success wouldn’t be possible without the support of the area’s leading health care organization.
