Norton Neighborhoods

This blog tells the story of the Norton Neighborhoods Initiative, a venue and a vision for community development in the southeastern part of the City of San Bernardino, California, around the former Norton Air Force Base (now San Bernardino International Airport). The project is facilitated by Ronald Graybill, PhD, Community Outreach Director for Loma Linda University Medical Center. For more info, see http://www.healthycities.com

Bill Kemper, Manager of Stater Bros Loma Linda store, awards a nearly $7,000 "Food for All" grant from the Stater Bros employees to Dr. Ron Graybill for Loma Linda University Medical Center's Norton Neighborhoods Initiative which he directs. On the right, Produce Manager Don Gann joins the joins the award ceremony, and on the left, Dr. Bill Selby, a Pediatric Resident in LLU School of Medicine's OK Kids Program, stands with two Cypress Elementary School students in their 5-a-Day t-shirts. Dr. Selby and his fellow residents provide one of several programs at the Norton Neighborhoods after-school site, "The Gardens" in southeastern San Bernardino. The doctors teach children good nutrition, safety, and fitness, and encourage them to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day. The funds will also help distribute food from the San Bernardino County Food Bank to neighborhood families in challenging circumstances.
