Community Engagement

Building Healthier Communities Through Service, Education, and Action

engage dom logoThe ENGAGE DOM Committee is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to creating a healthier, more equitable city through meaningful community engagement and action-driven service. We believe lasting change happens when health professionals and community members work together to address real needs, build trust, and create sustainable solutions.Through partnerships with local organizations, residents, and community leaders, we strive to improve health literacy, expand access to preventive resources, and support the overall well-being of the communities we serve.

Our Mission
ENGAGE DOM exists to strengthen communities by connecting people with the resources, education, and support they need to thrive. Through collaboration, service, and innovation, we work to reduce health disparities and empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being.
