ANCHOR builds on the Heart of Nashville Wellness Opportunity Zone, which has connected Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center (MWCHC) patients to culturally relevant, heart-healthy meals and social supports.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"nh-pattern-editorial-content-2-118b7f nh-copy e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"73bb27d\">The next phase is to define what kind of community food center ANCHOR should be, based on resident input and lessons from strong community-based food access models. <strong>NashvilleHealth, on behalf of its Heart of Nashville partner organizations, seeks a community engagement coordinator to guide and deliver a clear, resident\u2011informed recommendation.<\/strong><strong>2.
