At the corner of Shelton Avenue and Hazel Street in Newhallville sits a green space, the Learning Corridor—a hub for educating young children and connecting families to healthy living. The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail runs through the garden, where children can stop by and browse books from a box and adults can take a spin on a bike.

NEW HAVEN, CT, July 2, 2021 – New results from DataHaven’s ongoing statewide survey show that access to and concerns about COVID-19 vaccines remained prevalent throughout Connecticut last month. Despite the state’s relatively high vaccination rate, 1 in 5, or about 500,000, adults in the state still have not received the vaccine.
The United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut will be building a framework for health data collection through a $100,000 grant that was awarded by Data Across Sectors for Health.
Led by the Illinois Public Health Institute and Michigan Public Health Institute, the Data Across Sectors for Health (DASH) grant will help United Way with its health data collection and measurement to improve the overall health and wellbeing among state residents.
