CAROLINE EMERSON ,VICE PRESIDENT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CAMPAIGN UNITED WAY-THOMAS JEFFERSON AREA TALKS WITH lES SINCLAIR ABOUT THE UNITED WAY RELAY.

The new, one-of-a-kind UNITED WAY RELAY supports equitable access to local healthcare. We’re making strides toward community health.

 Runners of all abilities, age 10+, will come together to form teams from family, businesses, clubs, neighborhoods, friends, or other groups. Each runner completes a ½ mile leg then passes the baton to a teammate. You can do it- but not alone!

Help relay our message that when we work together, we can make our whole community healthier– whether it’s helping moms get the prenatal care they need,  improving access to basic care, or collaborating across our health systems to improve community-based care.
