The Sunshine Project
The mission for The Sunshine Project is to report on issues of civic discourse and social determinants of community health – and not just health in a medical sense. The project will examine medical issues as well as broad indicators of health, looking at data that may shed light on which communities and subgroups are doing well, and which are facing unique challenges, why, and what can be done.
