Meet Champion for Vibrant Health: Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California The Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California (CRIISC) is dedicated to preserving the region’s civil rights history and legacy while inspiring the next generation of social justice leaders. Finding community and connecting with others is at the heart of CRIISC. The institute is a multi-use space with exhibition, media, and diversity centers – each serving a crucial role for the community. Executive Director Sabrina Gonzalez states that CRIISC advances health equity in the region by highlighting the stories of marginalized communities that health disparities have most often impacted. “We intentionally designed the space to be a place to have difficult conversations, which are worth having. We trust that we can have these conversations in a way that allows us to build and grow and be accountable for the region’s past, present and future.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/grjv6SRy #ChampionforVibrantHealth

?? How your ZIP code impacts your health When we think about the factors that influence our health, we often consider things like diet, exercise and genetics. But one crucial, often overlooked factor is a person’s ZIP code. Simply put, where we live matters. Several research studies have found a direct correlation between a person’s overall health and their ZIP code.
