On the corner of Park Heights Ave. and Quantico Ave sits the Park Heights Community Health Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to providing health and wellness programs to Park Heights residents. I talk with PHCHA’s director Willie Flowers about growing up in rural Alabama, training and running in marathons, life lessons he got from participating in campaign races, and what the future holds for Park Heights. To learn more about the Alliance, visit phcha.org. You can also find them on Facebook.
