Faith Coalition of Lancaster County – January Gathering
Wednesday, January 14 | 12:00–1:00 PM
Eastridge Presbyterian Church | 1135 Eastridge Drive, Lincoln
How does place shape our health, our opportunities, and our sense of belonging?
Join us for the January gathering of the Faith Coalition of Lancaster County as we welcome Morgan Hermanek from the Community Health Endowment (CHE). She’ll share insights from Place Matters 6.0, a mapping project that visualizes health disparities across Lincoln—from youth fitness and poverty to access to healthy food and disability support.
These maps don’t just inform—they inspire local action. Come see how data can help us understand where we live, and how we can help make our city healthier for everyone.
Attend in person (bring a brown bag lunch) or join us via Zoom (link below)
