Kaiser Permanente’s Community Health Initiatives program is delivering powerful community-based prevention. The big idea: improve people’s health by making the healthy choice the easy choice. A core element of CHI is Photovoice, a community change strategy in which residents take pictures of barriers to health and safety in their communities, and then present them to decision-makers to advocate for change. Read on for more information, and for a video depiction of one Photovoice success story.
