The Parramore Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan in Orlando, Florida was adopted by City Council in January 2015, following an 18-month planning and community engagement process. Since adoption, the City has successfully implemented many recommendations from the plan including new parks, mixed income housing, community gardens, schools and social programs, all improving quality of life, health and wellness for residents and businesses. The past seven years have also introduced new challenges related to the pandemic and digital equity, as well as new tools to analyze community and population health.
This webinar will tell the story of the Parramore community and its revitalization efforts guided by 10 Healthy Community Design (HCD) Principals and will provide an overview of the community engagement process, community vision, status of project implementation with lessons learned, and new tools available for addressing health and social equity issues. Presenters will offer creative, practical solutions that can preserve, revive and connect a neighborhood’s health and wellness to the city at large.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
