The weekly farmers market is a part of a larger community health initiative in which Mercy Health works collaboratively with the Bond Hill + Roselawn Committee, Bond Hill Community Council, Community Action Agency, the Port Authority, YEP Fitness and several other key partners to take a collective impact approach toward addressing health disparities in the urban core.
