New York & San Francisco – November 2019
Hart Howerton is pleased to announce Designer Jessica Elliott has been selected for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s “Culture of Health Leaders” Program. This program connects leaders across the country—from every profession, sector, and field—to learn from and work with one another in creating more just and thriving communities.
Designed for people from all fields and professions that have an influence on people’s health —from technology and business to architecture and urban planning—Culture of Health Leaders fosters cross-sector collaboration and supports leaders in their continued growth and development as agents of change for equity and health. Together, they learn new ways of thinking and leading, expanding their perspectives and accelerating their impact.
As a member of the program’s newest cohort, Jessica will extend the pioneering research of Hart Howerton’s “Healthy Living” initiative which grew out of our partnership with the University of Virginia’s (UVA’s) Center for Design and Health. Her efforts will connect on-going professional assignments and lessons learned to her experiences working with Manhattan Community Board 11 in East Harlem.
