The Neighborhood and Family Health branch supports individuals and their families with programs that increase access to care and connects residents with needed resources. We collaborate with local educational leaders to enhance children's physical, emotional, and social growth through school-based and community-focused programs.

By investing in neighborhood and family health, we’re laying the foundation for a stronger, healthier Manchester. Focusing on specific neighborhood communities and family units allows us to identify high-need areas and deliver targeted, effective interventions.

Where you live shapes nearly every aspect of your life. Your neighborhood can influence access to quality education, healthy food, affordable housing, social connections, reliable transportation, employment, quality healthcare, and green spaces. According to the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) model, 40% of our overall health is determined by social and economic factors. By expanding access to health-promoting opportunities and reducing financial burdens, our programs are significantly improving health outcomes every day.
