As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Chiricahua Community Health Centers, Inc. recognizes now, more than ever before, that the “social determinants of health” – factors such as income, housing, education, and social support networks all have a profound impact on our health. We know that better-educated individuals live longer, healthier lives than those with less education. Employment provides income and, often, benefits that can support healthy lifestyle choices. Unemployment and underemployment limit these choices, and negatively affect both quality of life and health overall. For these reasons, we are deeply committed to promoting early literacy efforts through projects such as the “Little Free Library” project. Students were given the opportunity to learn specific STEM skills so that they could build a “Little Free Library.” The “libraries” were then placed in the communities where we have clinics to encourage the public to “read a book, leave a book.” We are deeply grateful to the National Science Foundation for supporting this project as it links education to health and supports our mission of “caring for patient’s building healthy communities.”
