How Are We Fostering Generational Change?

For the past three years, BeWellPBC has worked together with ReThink Health, an initiative of the Rippel Foundation, and Palm Beach County partners, Palm Health Foundation, Children's Services Council, and Palm Beach County's Youth Services and Community Services Departments, to explore what it takes to reallocate resources to create more equitable regional systems for health and well-being.

At the core, is Belonging and Civic Muscle, the fulfilling relationships and social support people need to thrive. How do we build Belonging and Civic Muscle? By creating Simple Rules.

We and our partners are living into these Simple Rules. They have been adopted by systems leaders and employees, written into county government strategic plans, and shared with Palm County Commissioners.

As you read through our impact report, we invite you to reflect on where you see the Simple Rules’ influence, and where they have the capability to re-shape how we invest in the future of our community.

Thank you

to all the dedicated community members who give of themselves, their passion, and their talents to support BeWellPBC and invest in generational change.
