In this episode we are continuing our journey of introducing you to key community health partners and resources by introducing you to the leaders behind a statewide nonprofit called The Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities. In case the name didn’t give it away, the AALC focuses on making our communities more livable, more healthy, and more likely to support all aspects of well-being. And they do it by focusing on community design, the built environment, and policy levers like municipal general plans and zoning. In other words, the Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities is all about the intersection of planning and health.
Listen now, and use the links below, to get to know the 800-member strong Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities.

Join us for Part two of our two-part series with reflections and insights into the complex world of coalitions. You’ll sit-in “live” as we talk with Sara Brenner, President of Community Wealth Partners – a consultancy born from the nonprofit Share Our Strength. For more than two decades Community Wealth Partners has been working to lift up what’s working when it comes to creating large scale social change. And we were lucky enough to get Sara to spend some time sharing what has been learned so far.
Part 2 picks up where we left off in part 1. After a brief discussion of Communities in Schools, we get back to the Social Transformation Lifecycle and decode the ten key elements needed for success.

Part 1 focuses on the four stages of the Social Transformation Lifecycle, as well as a coalition success story that can be found right here in Arizona. Coming soon, part 2 will continue the discussion about coalition work and delve into the ten key elements for coalition success.

Join us for Part Four of our four-part series with reflections and insights on the Live Well Arizona Incubator project. You’ll sit-in “live” as Penny Pestle shares the story of the newly re-branded Better Together Southern Arizona Coalition (referred to in this recording by its previous name – the Sustainable Families Coalition) and its experience with the Live Well Incubator.
In 2018, Vitalyst collaborated with the Arizona Partnership for Healthy Communities to establish the Live Well Arizona Incubator and take our support of place-based community health improvement to a new level: specifically, to help facilitate the creation of more cross-sector collaborations focused on community-informed and community-driven solutions.
In a nutshell, the idea was to identify early-stage cross-sector community health projects and provide technical assistance over time, using a series of full cohort face-to-face meetings, but also by providing a facilitator/coach/consultant for about 10 months to help each project develop its new collaborative, and also to produce a solid strategy and work plan going forward.
So how is it going so far? That’s what this fourth incubator-focused episode of the Vitalyst Spark podcast is all about.
