How Community Involvement Affects Health
A neighborhood baby shower; a weekly card game among retirees; a training session for a 5K walk. These might seem like unrelated moments in daily life, but each represents a distinct connection to community.
These and all communities have something in common: They offer a sense of belonging and connection with others. Community involvement can also have health benefits.
The most top-of-mind community may be the neighborhood or city where you live. The true definition of community goes far beyond geography. People with diverse characteristics and experiences also can belong to communities based on social ties, common perspectives or interests, or demographics.
Being engaged in communities can elevate a person’s whole health. When we more deeply understand individual and community needs, opportunities, and successes, we can build connections that support health."
