  • Leveraging Technical Assistance to Empower Rural Communities

    Leveraging Technical Assistance to Empower Rural Communities
    Apr 3 2024
    As part of the Health Equity and Community Design Technical Assistance Pilot program, about 25 Vermont communities applied for and received Technical Assistance, or “TA.” When a community receives technical assistance, they get direct support and access to experts for consulting on public health projects. In this episode of the podcast, we’ll take you through two communities that received different kinds of TA from our support team. We’ll hear from Gail Isenberg and Meg Harris, community advocates in Cornwall whose vision for a place to play pickleball blossomed into a multi-purpose recreation and gathering area. We’ll also hear from organizer Michelle McCormick, who describes a mobility audit in downtown Marshfield.

  • Trusted Leaders, Connecting Communities

    Trusted Leaders, Connecting Communities
    Mar 7 2024
    Today, we dive into one part of the unique Technical Assistance Pilot program that wrapped up last year in Vermont. One of the goals of the program is to provide extra capacity to municipal leaders who might want to, but not have the time, funds, or expertise on staff, to advance health equity through healthy community design and placemaking efforts. When developing the idea for this project overall, Richard and Suzanne felt it was essential, if they were going to offer external “experts” to help towns advance health equity, that those experts included people from the populations we wanted to be sure were reached. So to make sure that the needs of all community members are being met, they developed the idea of “Health Equity Ambassadors.” Today you’ll hear from two health equity ambassadors about how working on the Technical Assistance pilot gave them a chance to make Vermont’s rural communities more equitable for everyone.
