Designed by the community, from the start
What makes this center different is how it came to be. Since 2024, Healdsburg residents with a wide range of lived experiences have shaped it through surveys, listening sessions, and design workshops, calling for flexible event spaces, a community kitchen, room for creative expression, and a cooler, greener outdoor space. As the project moves forward, new voices and lived experiences keep joining the process, so the center reflects a growing and changing community, not a single moment or perspective.
Belonging is healthcare
Social connection and belonging aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential to health. Loneliness and exclusion take a real toll, linked to higher rates of heart disease, depression, and weakened immunity. When people feel they belong, they thrive.
“Belonging is not just about being invited into a space. It is about being part of shaping it. Community members have been part of imagining and now designing a place that takes form through their own lens. When people feel seen, heard, and connected, they thrive.”
Marcy FloresExecutive Director, Corazón Healdsburg
Where we are now
Tier 1 – Underway now
Exterior walls have been painted in bright, vibrant colors that reflect the community’s spirit. Murals, created with local artists, go up in October.
Tiers 2 through 3 – Coming next
Future phases will expand to courtyard renovations, indoor room upgrades, and new gathering spaces.
