Health has been a top priority over the past two+ years. But, "health" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Our next Community Priority Series examines "health" from three intertwined perspectives - healthy minds with Dr. Dave Gomel (Rosecrance Health Network), healthy bodies with Sam Miller (Crusader Community Health) and healthy communities with Brent Pentenburg (YMCA of Rock River Valley). We'll also explore how these three components of health work in tandem and the impact they have on our local business environment.
A healthy and robust business community can only thrive in a healthy community. From schools to workforce, healthcare to parks – our Community Priority Series spotlights organizations and industries whose success helps to create a community culture – and in turn, a healthy business community. These virtual “fireside chats” with community leaders inform our business community in an accessible way – with information easily available and shareable – no matter your work life and load. Our Community Priority Series helps fulfill our mission to Lead Business Growth by actively connecting the business community to key community leaders on timely topics relevant to business success. As a method of accountability, the Rockford Chamber takes a lead role in summarizing important information and ensuring that the business community is kept up to date and in the know in a way that’s respectful of their time and resources.
