The Northwest Arkansas Council is pleased to announce the launch of Our Healthy Alliance – a combined effort of community groups, Benton County Government, the Council and the University of Arkansas School for Medical Sciences.
Over the past year, these community groups came together to raise awareness of the effects of COVID-19 and the importance of vaccination, including running and promoting free vaccine clinics around the region. The collaboration around the community’s response to COVID-19 highlighted the need for continued cooperation, resources and outreach among the Hispanic and Marshallese communities in Northwest Arkansas.
As part of the launch, Our Healthy Alliance created an online resource hub – www.healthynwa.org, www.saludnwa.org, and www.majol.healthynwa.org – designed to help residents find, pay for and use health care that is culturally and linguistically appropriate.
Through community outreach, media engagement and a public awareness campaign, Our Healthy Alliance seeks to unlock a lasting mutual respect between Northwest Arkansas leaders and community members they serve. Learn more at https://healthynwa.org/.
