Wishing you a peaceful and joyful holiday season. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒŸ
This year, we had the privilege of working alongside neighbors, partners, and advocates who continue to show us what it means to build a healthier, more hopeful Baltimore.

As we step into 2026, weโ€™re excited to carry this energy into a milestone moment โ€” UHIโ€™s 25th anniversary. ๐ŸŽ‰ We look forward to honoring the reflections, relationships, and leadership that have shaped our impact, while continuing the work ahead.

Thank you for being part of the UHI community. โค๏ธโœจ

Before we close out 2025, hereโ€™s a check-in on our 2026 Bunting Fellows and what theyโ€™ve been up to this fall. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™

Since September, Fellows have been out in exploring neighborhoods through fieldwork, learning about Livable Cities and Livable Habitats, and beginning their focus on Healthy People.

Their most recent session on December 5 featured an inspiring workshop led by Dr. Tahira Mahdi, an author, psychologist, and self-described โ€œauthor of mischiefโ€, titled Embracing the Complexities and Contradictions of Community. The day also included a special conversation with UHI Director Dr. Lisa Cooper and Associate Director Dr. Lindsay Thompson, plus some holiday fun with games. ๐Ÿ’›โœจ

Weโ€™re grateful for the energy and curiosity this cohort continues to bring, and excited to share more as the program continues into 2026. ๐Ÿ™Œ
