Health is
Fundamental
With good health
anything is possible.
Americares saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster so they can reach their full potential.
For people affected by poverty or disaster, health is essential to a better future. With good health, they can attend school, be productive at work, care for their families and contribute to strong communities. Poor health puts all of those opportunities at risk. Health is fundamental to all aspects of development.
On May 9th, the 2019 Health at the Center Americares Partner Summit explored resilience—how resilient communities recover from disasters, how resilience is key to mental health and how public health depends on resilient environments.
