Weaving Wisdom: Community Conversations is an ongoing series hosted by the Linn Benton Lincoln Health Equity Alliance (LBLHEA). Sessions focus on community-identified priority issues and rotate between the counties LBLHEA serves. Meetings are free and open to anyone interested in advancing health equity.
About The Weaving Wisdom: Community Conversations Series: LBLHEA centers collective community wisdom and traditional ways of knowing. Our communities are capable of defining health on their own terms and advocating for the necessary changes they want to see. We work to create opportunities, such as the Weaving Wisdom series, for the coalition to network, gain tools, expand their knowledge, build capacity, identify solutions, and make their voices heard and represented in policy-making.
