Health Equity Alliance of Tallahassee (HEAT)The next meeting of the Health Equity Alliance (HEAT) will take place Tuesday, September 1, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. We will get on update on recent activities and discuss plans to develop a Food Policy Council to address childhood obesity and the food environment. We will also screen a brief excerpt of the documentary series Unnatural Causes and develop a plan for co-organizing a community screening and forum on the social determinants of health.

HEAT is a community-academic partnership to promote community-based participatory research on health equity in the Tallahassee area. Our mission is to bridge the gap between research and action to explain and eliminate social inequalities in health. For more information or to get involved, see the HEAT website.
