Troy Bush-DiDonato, Episcopal Health Foundation's community engagement officer, explains a research project on community health needs in three Southwest Houston neighborhoods. Residents met in small groups to discuss health concerns and took photos of healthy and unhealthy things they saw nearby. A Community Listening Tour let neighbors view their photos and hear research findings. EHF ran similar projects in Baytown and Beaumont, partnering with Legacy Community Health and other local organizations.

Troy Bush-DiDonato, EHF’s community engagement officer, explains the reasoning behind our latest research project looking at community health needs in three neighborhoods across Southwest Houston. Participants met in small groups to talk about health concerns and also took photos of things they see as healthy and unhealthy in their neighborhood. The video was taken at the Community Listening Tour event where neighbors saw their photos displayed and learned about findings from the research project. EHF led similar projects in Baytown and Beaumont. EHF partnered with Legacy Community Health for all three projects. Other partners include ProSalud in Houston, Texas AHEC East & Epistelos in Baytown, and Lamar University in Beaumont.
