Introducing Wellville Stories Videos
September 13, 2022
Announcing the launch of Wellville Stories, a video series that shares stories from the Wellville 5 communities.
Wellville is a 10-year national nonprofit project to achieve long-term, equitable, community wellbeing. We serve as a catalyst for five US communities – the Wellville 5 – as they work to improve their health and wellbeing through resident-centered, multi-stakeholder collaboration. The Wellville 5 will inspire other communities to copy (and improve upon) their work and to promote change in how our nation invests in its people, institutions and systems.
The annual Wellville Gathering brings together people from the Wellville 5, the Wellville National team and Advisory Board, and other advisors and experts, to learn with and from each other. The next Gathering will take place on April 24-27, 2023, in Spartanburg, SC.
