Our History

We began this research initiative in 2013 as Wellness Engagement Petersburg to provide social support for health behavior change through active engagement and partnerships. Through the initial WE Project, the Community Health Leadership Council and the Petersburg Wellness Consortium were established.

WE Project 2.0 represents a new phase of our work together. As part of this new grant award from the National Institute of Health, we are beginning a new phase of research that builds on the efforts of the original WE Project. With this in mind, we are calling this new research project WE Project 2.0. WE Project 2.0 is part of the broader Wellness Engagement Initiative.
