Stoke-on-Trent City Council has been fortunate to be involved in a learning exchange between the UK and the US. The purpose is to contribute to learning and knowledge about reducing health inequalities through tackling the root causes of poor health, such as, employment, housing, education and the environment. This approach prioritises working with communities to harness their capacity for health improvement.

This exchange is part of a wider programme and is supported by the Department of Health, England, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA, the International Union for Health Promotion Education and Health Action Partnership International.

Saturday 19th November - REACH Exchange Cities Coming Together

We travelled back to Atlanta on Thursday evening and spent most of Friday reflecting on all that we had seen in Birmingham. We collated our thoughts and experiences ready to share with other colleagues from the UK who had visited other REACH Communities in the US.

On Saturday evening we met our UK colleagues in Atlanta and went out to dinner. As you will no doubt have seen, food is a running theme throughout this blog and this evening's meal was not a disappointment. We went to Paschals restaurant to experience some more soul food.


The food was fantastic...but we were still not used to how big the portions were!
