Community Health Nonprofit · Des Moines, Iowa

Community health starts with community voice.

My City My Health creates spaces where people can access information, feel seen, and take action around their health and wellbeing.

Through conferences, community engagement, podcasts, newsletters, and initiatives like Save the Homies, we turn what we hear from the community into stories, insight, and action.

We help communities get informed, connected, and heard.

Create Spaces

We host conferences, conversations, podcasts, and community experiences where people can talk honestly about health and wellbeing.

Share Information

We make health education feel accessible, relevant, and connected to real life — not clinical, not distant, not intimidating.

Turn Data Into Stories

We listen to the community, gather insight, and turn lived experience into stories that help move care, outreach, and support forward.

Our Approach

We turn community data into community stories.

Some of the most useful community health data does not start in a spreadsheet. It starts with what people are asking, sharing, carrying, and experiencing. My City My Health gathers insight through events, podcasts, newsletters, community conversations, and initiative engagement — then turns that insight into stories, reports, content, and partnerships that help people understand what community health looks like in real life.
