Greater Hazelwood, a neighborhood located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, saw a decline in residents, businesses, and services at the steel industry's decline. Residents, philanthropic organizations, advocates, health centers, schools, universities, and community-based organizations continue collaborating to revitalize the Greater Hazelwood neighborhood by following the Greater Hazelwood Neighborhood Plan. Duquesne University Center for Integrative Health was engaged by a place-based grant-making strategy in Greater Hazelwood to explore the creation of a collaborative partnership between a university, federally qualified health center, school, residents, and community-based organizations to create a framework to improve access to comprehensive and quality healthcare in Greater Hazelwood. This collaboratively designed health and wellness programs based on community-identified health priorities to improve health outcomes. These programs provide opportunities for multi-sector partners and interdisciplinary health professionals to meet residents where they are, decrease disease disparity, and promote health equity.
