Welcome to BEAM
BEAM is part of a faith-based health initiative concentrating on assisting people from underserved communities experience a better quality of life by reducing health disparities. BEAM is also fostering responsibility by empowering people to improve their own lives and contribute to the common good. We are reaching out to include a broader range of people to participate in resolving public health issues.
The organization will place special emphasis on community building that seeks to assure the well-being of children, youth and families; bridge the fault lines of race and class; and invest in communities’ human and natural resources. B.E.A.M. will accomplish this developing coalitions working across race, ethnic and class lines on local, community issues in ways that build lasting capacity in their communities to solve problems.
