Bobby Cochran, Phil Wu, Kurt Beil, Fletcher Beaudoin and Mike Wetter met to discuss forming an Intertwine Alliance health initiative. The purpose of the initiative will be to explore the nexus between nature and human health in the metropolitan region and to encourage health sector participation in using nature to create health outcomes. The group decided to formally launch the health initiaitive at the Intertwine spring Summit in March and to invite other partners to participate. A working group will help lead the initiative. Plans are to organize public forums on the topic and include guest speakers.
The group will meet again on February 6, at 3:30 pm to continue to discuss the agenda and format for the March Summit workshop. At the Summit, the group will invite people to join a 3 hour planning meeting to be scheduled for the spring.
