Fresno EOC and CVS Health team up to form a Health Zone
Fresno EOC will partner with CVS Health on its new Health Zones initiative in Fresno. The initiative aims to build healthier communities across America by supporting local partners to address six key social determinants of health: housing, education, access to food, labor, transportation, and health care access.The Health Zones initiative is now underway in Fresno and four other markets, including Atlanta, Columbus, Hartford, and Phoenix. Each Health Zone is targeted to a specific ZIP code, as research has shown that one’s ZIP code can oftentimes have a greater impact on health than one’s genetic code. In Fresno, that ZIP code is 93721.
