Placemaking for Proximal Health directly influences the effectiveness of preventive care in rural communities.

The Inklings book club, comprised of MKM team members, meets monthly to discuss a selected book. This year’s selections allowed us to share our thoughts on various topics, from placemaking to civil rights. Through these conversations, we get a glimpse of the ideas that spark inspiration in our team and learn more about how we can implement these ideas into our lives.
