E-Connects: Economic Stability and Its Connection to Health and Well-Being.
Economic stability plays a critical role in shaping health and well-being. Join us for a conversation with representatives from our 2026 Seed-And-Scale Grantees, Open Hearth, Inc., Mitzvah Circle, and Friends Association as they explore the connection between financial security and health in Greater Coatesville.
Through their work, these organizations see firsthand how challenges related to employment, housing, food access, transportation, and other family-stabilizing resources can impact individuals and families across generations. The discussion will examine the barriers Coatesville residents face in achieving long-term economic mobility, the hidden costs of financial instability, and the opportunities that can help build a healthier, more economically secure community.
Together, our panelists will discuss questions such as:
- What does economic stability look like day-to-day for families in Coatesville, and how does instability affect physical and mental health?
- How do income and employment influence health outcomes in our community?
- What barriers prevent residents from accessing and maintaining stable, living-wage employment?
- How do transportation, childcare, housing, and food security intersect with economic stability and overall health?
- What family-stabilizing resources are making a difference, and where do gaps still exist?
- What workforce pathways and partnerships offer the greatest opportunities for long-term economic mobility?
- What could success look like for Coatesville’s economic and health outcomes five years from now?
This conversation will offer an opportunity to hear directly from organizations working alongside our community and explore how strengthening economic stability can help create lasting improvements in health for generations to come.
