Key activities included the publication of a "Report to the Community," ongoing work with the state-wide Partners Council to share results and promote engagement, and the establishment of the Monroe County Health Equity Council, dedicated to reducing health disparities and influencing local health policy. The funding also allowed CJAM to retain two staff members to enhance community engagement, volunteer involvement, fundraising, and communications.
