Our environments shape health and community.

The places where people live, work, learn, play, age, and pray can have significant effects on individual and community health outcomes. This includes, for example, homes, schools, workplaces, places of worship, grocery stores, transportation infrastructure, green spaces, and playgrounds. Each of these environments affects the availability, accessibility, affordability, placement, and condition of the goods and services that enable communities to live and thrive.

Building Health, Inc. worked with high school students from Pittsburg USD 250 through the school's Launch program to remove blight and create a public green space at 2nd and Walnut Streets in downtown Pittsburg. The students were presented with an opportunity to imagine what could be done with a property that has contained a depilated warehouse for many years, and established a vision for a community gathering space that will extend an existing linear park in the heart of the community. The students presented the project to various service groups, advisory boards, businesses, and philanthropists, and raised enough funding to demolish the building and stabilize the parcel. The parcel has been returned to the City of Pittsburg to establish a public dog park.
