Community Health Choice’s support of Harwin Park in southwest Houston is a significant part of our commitment to Members and the communities in which we live, play, and work.
“50/50 Park Partners will connect business with neighborhoods, city agencies, and nonprofit organizations to enrich communities and strengthen our city,” said Beth White, President & CEO at Houston Parks Board.
The 50/50 Park Partners framework provides an opportunity for corporations to play a leadership role in supporting neighborhood parks and surrounding communities, catalyzing the process of reinvigorating an under-resourced park. The initiative includes a coordinated process for determining park improvements in collaboration with local communities. Community Health Choice is proud to be a 50/50 Park Partner, and we look forward to working with the Houston Parks Board over the course of the next three years and beyond.
We joined this coalition of business partners because we believe parks play an important, transformative role in every community and Houston must have thriving parks that support improvements to everyone’s quality of life. Our employees are excited for future volunteer opportunities and working with the Alief-Westwood Complete Community in Harwin Park. We thank the Houston Parks Board and our fellow Park Partners for the opportunity to be part of this impactful initiative.
