Creating Healthy Communities: A Model for Local Action

By Gary Theilen

Creating Healthy Communities presents a model for inclusive volunteer-driven local planning and action designed and tested by the author in his over 50 years of experience in rural and urban settings. The book provides a practical guide and theoretical foundation for implementing the model. Examples of successful community initiatives in health, housing, income security, public transportation, and neighborhood safety illustrate how volunteer leaders (supported by professional staff) have achieved vital local objectives. Throughout the book, the author makes the case for greater investment in volunteer-driven local planning and action.
