On September 15, the DEED Foundation invited community members to register to vote for National Voter Registration Day. The all-day event included an educational forum offering insight about the impact of voting and information about a new Missouri law allowing people convicted of non-violent felonies to register, even while they are still on parole or probation. The DEED Foundation was joined by Julee Jonez at Hot 103 Jamz and Kansas City MO Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.. Health Forward is proud to support the DEED Foundation to empower and educate our communities to participate in democracy.

As we continue to share our journey to our new home: last summer, Health Forward President and CEO Qiana Thomason and Chief Operating Officer Brenda Calvin joined our developers, Community Builders of Kansas City, in a beaming ceremony to celebrate the placement of the final structural steel beam at the Offices at Overlook. An evergreen tree was attached to the beam to symbolize growth, good luck, and life - a custom tradition that traces back over 1,000 years to Scandinavia. Today, it celebrates a major construction milestone by honoring the workers and offering wishes for safety and prosperity for future occupants.

Take the stairs! That’s just one highlight from today’s look inside the Offices at Overlook, featuring a conversation between Health Forward President and CEO Qiana Thomason and Carol Sokolenko, Chief Executive Officer at Fre3dom Interiors.

Fre3dom has been an instrumental partner in creating a space and interiors that reflect an open, inviting, and equitable environment that reflects our purpose. As a Latina-owned business, Fre3dom also reflects our commitment to investing in diverse, women-led vendors.

We're proud to own this building, and we're counting down to move day at the end of September, when the Health Forward team will officially call the Offices at Overlook home.

This is "Freedom Interiors" by Health Forward Foundation on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
