KVCC Health Focused Campus Tour + Officer Elections – June

What is the KVCC Health Focused Campus all about?

The Health Focused Campus being built in Kalamazoo—dubbed “Grow”—is a catalyst for
urban revitalization, community health, and workforce development through sustainable food education, training, production, distribution and preparation. The mission is to provide a new approach to a healthier Kalamazoo.

In 2013, a collaborative partnership was announced between Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC), Bronson Healthcare (Bronson), and Kalamazoo Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (KCMHSAS) with a goal to address complex, interrelated social issues.
