"Got Health?" Talks
The Center for Community Health & Prevention offers a series of FREE health talks called “Got Health?” to help community members get and stay healthy.
Got Health is provided in partnership with University of Rochester Medicine's Health Equity Program Support Office, the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County and the YMCA of Greater Rochester. The talks cover basic health information and are delivered in easy-to-understand language. In-person talks are offered throughout the year at the Maplewood Family YMCA and The Lewis Street YMCA Neighborhood Center locations.
Throughout the series, presenters from our Center, URochester Medicine, and community organizations help to inform the community about health issues and highlight the link between research and community health improvement.
Please join us to learn more about many interesting health topics.
