Therefore, we must be bold. Gratefully, we have two powerful assets. First, we have ourselves, and we are as strong as our mountains. We know the value of coming together, working toward shared goals, and creating a place where everyone can thrive. Second, we have a strong philanthropic ally in Dogwood Health Trust. We will work closely with a wide range of partners, using opportunities to reinvent our approaches to the upstream” causes of poor health and wellness. We want to help create a region where every generation can live, learn, earn and thrive, with dignity and opportunity for all (no exceptions). With deepest commitment, Janice W. Brumit Janice W.
