This initiative sparked extensive discussion among board members, highlighting its potential impact on local health strategies.

The tabletop initiative is designed to foster collaboration and communication within the community regarding health issues. Board members expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to involve residents more actively in health-related discussions and decision-making processes. One member noted, “This is a chance for us to bridge the gap between the board and the community, ensuring everyone has a voice in health matters.”
