Annual Meeting

Dogwood Health Trust hosted its first virtual annual meeting on October 28, 2020. During this meeting, we shared what Dogwood has been doing over the past year and our four strategic priorities for the future: Housing, Education, Jobs and Health & Wellness. We also asked community members for their ideas and suggestions. If you missed the meeting, you can watch the video and learn what we heard.
