FY26 Annual Report: Building Community. Advancing Health.

This year marks five years since the Leonard Parker Pool Institute for Health was established – and an opportunity to reflect on how our work has grown, what we’ve learned, and where we’re headed.

Our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report highlights the people, partnerships, and ideas helping create the conditions for communities across the Lehigh Valley to thrive.

Inside, you’ll find stories and updates from across our work, including: 

• The community-driven vision taking shape in Allentown’s Franklin Park neighborhood
• Efforts to strengthen regional capacity and collaboration
• The continued growth of Integrated Community Therapy and the Pool Fellowship for Health
• New resources designed to support community health and well-being

These efforts share a common belief: lasting improvements in health are built through long-term investment in people, partnerships, and place.
