How do we ‘re-imagine trust’ such that we effectively engage the hearts and minds in communities throughout America?  What is our responsibility as professionals within Public Health?  What are the things the we need to talk about when we talk about 21st century community engagement?    

Our efforts to Re-Imagining Trust: Engaging Hearts and Minds in Communities Throughout America must create more practical and effective solutions, drawing on the listening of diverse groups.  Our efforts should improve citizens' knowledge and skills through immersive experiences. Our task is to begin the conversation that generates these outcomes. 

We must continue to explore new ways to empower and integrate people from different backgrounds, as we seek to understand the interpersonal barriers which contribute to complacency.  We must also remember and speak into the critical role of ethics in policy, medicine and community care.  We must increase the likelihood that initiatives and solutions address the true challenges; challenges which often remain hidden in blindspots.
