r. \aVTOI V A I A Z I a Appendix B. Wellness District Project Concepts Three workshops were held to share the quantitative findings of the retail analysis; to build on the qualitative data collected from interviews; and to develop initial wellness `destinatiori project concepts that reflect the findings of the research. These workshops were organized by SABHC, and TNP provided facilitation support for Workshops 2 and 3. Workshop 1 was held for community members to identify the various vacant lots that present opportunities for developing wellness goods and services hubs or locations for central Santa Ana residents. Participants were given the opportunity to start brainstorming and sharing their ideas about the types of uses they envision for these sites. Workshop 2 convened senior staff from the City of Santa Ana, leaders of community led organizations, and members of St. JoseplA Hospital to build on the ideas for the sites that were identified in Workshop 1. Workshop 3 brought together community members to review and discuss the wellness services and programs concepts that were developed in Workshops 1 and 2. The workshops primary purpose was to begin the development of concrete project ideas that would address identified local priorities and contribute to a downtown Wellness District strategy. The concepts are not necessarily tied to one or more of the sites identified in Workshop 1. Workshops 2 and 3 organized participants into groups to discuss the needs and priorities of each demographic group. Using the collective insights gathered, the groups were then re- organized to develop a single wellness destination/hub concept that could meet the needs of all the demographic groups. The three main ideas generated in the workshops were: B1. Fitness and Recreation Center B2. Micro Farm and Community Education Center B3.
