ABOUT US
Launched in fall 2016, Healthier Neighbors became the fourth Healthier Together community, encompassing Riviera Beach and northern West Palm Beach. Healthier Neighbors’ focus is behavioral health, which is defined by the community as being resilient where neighbors are engaged and empowered and are balanced in mind, body and spirit.
While the two communities are distinct municipalities, the initiative aims to seek commonalities as well as unique community cultures in relation to behavioral health. Community Partners of South Florida is the initiative’s fiscal agent.
