Health of the Community| Community Wellness Series 2026

The 2026 Community Wellness Series, hosted by Northeastern’s Office of City and Community Engagement, brings people together to focus on their health and wellness through resource sharing and educational workshops. Boston residents, other neighbors, community leaders, and the NU network are invited to this sponsored event series hosted at Northeastern Crossing between February-March 2026.

In partnership with Heart of a Giant Foundation, Health of the Community, is an interactive discussion exploring how everyday choices shape personal and community health. Not just doctor visits, but neighbors checking in, community health workers who understand your life, and healthcare systems that listen. True heart health happens when personal care and community care work together. Whether you’re managing heart disease, supporting a loved one, or passionate about health equity, this event offers practical insight and meaningful connection.
