There’s a 21st Century saying that goes, “if you don’t exist in social media…you don’t exist!” That hasn’t necessarily been a problem for the Healthy Richmond Initiative, which nevertheless stands to gain some good visibility after their launch this month of a new website, healthyrichmond.net.

The site is a one-stop shop for vast amounts of information about community health campaigns and policy initiatives occurring in Richmond. It will also serve as the official face, and for many an introduction, to the work of a group of community-based organizations known collectively as the Healthy Richmond Hub.

Hosted at the East Bay Center for Performing Arts, the website launch brought together Hub partners such as Richmond Main Street, RYSE Center, Richmond Community Foundation and Brookside Health Center, among other groups. Partners were able to explore the HealthyRichmond.net site for the first time, where readers can access information about the Healthy Richmond Hub’s origin, its model structure, various campaigns it is involved in, and links to the member organization’s websites and Facebook pages.

What makes the RICHMOND PULSE different from other news organizations is that it is community based, youth-led, and with a focus on any issue that affects the health of the overall community. Young people will be trained in the craft of multimedia reporting, effectively becoming the eyes and ears of their community and bringing their stories to a wider audience through the web as well as a local newspaper that will be distributed widely throughout the city of Richmond, and beyond.
