For 20 years, church communities banded together every spring for a weeklong education and awareness campaign highlighting the role of the African American Church in addressing the AIDS crisis. Known as the Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS, the national observance has changed its name this year to include all parts of the community, just as AIDS has affected all community sectors.

A Community Approach to Better Health
Together! Healthy Knox is about achieving a community in which every person who lives, works, attends school, worships or plays is a healthy person. With your help, this is an achievable goal.
Knox County Health Department is getting Together! Healthy Knox started, but, as the name implies, we cannot do it alone. No single entity or agency can make a community healthy – so much more can be accomplished by working together with a common goal. Together! Healthy Knox aims to use a strategic process to make our current resources work smarter.*
All our voices matter.
*Together! Healthy Knox uses Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), a model developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), for a planned approach to improve health and quality of life.
