How you help

Volunteers engage in the community, events, and in the office to help end social disparities in Cincinnati and throughout the nation. The Annual Health Expo has served 84,000 individuals and conducted 30,000 health screening since 2003. This was possible because of the 3,400 volunteers who have supported this event. In addition, volunteers have helped the Do Right!® Campaign, launched in 2008, to promote healthy living through nutrition and physical activity to almost 20,000 participants.
