Reflecting on 2018, Looking Toward 2019
The close of the year is always an introspective time for me. I think back at what the year has brought and think ahead to what I hope the upcoming year will bring – personally and professionally. 2018 has been an intense year for our Get Healthy San Mateo County collaborative. More people and organizations are now engaged in advancing healthy communities through transportation and mobility options, increased attention to housing stability, sustainable food systems, and social-emotional environments in schools.
