Hi Rita or Bruce would you like to be taught how to use this group? Or some ideas to get conversations rolling? I can help you modify the group to your needs.

For starters- what image should be used for the group?

Sure,
I think opening up a variety of topics to begin with would help. Discuss ways we can promote wellness. See how we can tie Health into other fields as well in order to keep healthy during a possible downturn in economy or upturn in energy costs. Create discussions and submit ideas on how to organize this group page ( I just made a basic template feel free to edit it or ask me to change the layout)

Eric I am not ready to lead but will collaborate.  Each member of Code Green Community might consider a pledge to do their best to seek health through life balance.  A personal permaculture.  Functional Medicine in the template of this philosophy.  Whole real food, rest and recreation, and service meaningful work can be a place to start.  As a community we can lead by example.

I'm a Geriatrician, originally FP trained, also Hospice certified, working in a means-tested, function-tested, not-for-profit primary care system here in St Pete.

The current medical system is Monsanto-ized. But just as permaculturists still use shovels and pickup trucks, a transitioned health care system still needs a few operating rooms and cheap insulin to go along with much expanded disease prevention strategies. 80% of illness (colds, allergies, back pain etc etc) can be treated as well or better by non-allopathic means. I'd like to learn more myself.

I am a a clinical herbalist and natural health advisor in St Petersburg.  It is my mission to empower people to take control of their health naturally.  I do this through educational workshops (mostly herbal medicine-making), individual consultations, and my own line of herbal remedies. I don't have any specific expectations for this group. As far as vision, I want to put more healing back into people's hands and less of it in the hands of the current medical system and prescription drug "factories".

Maybe we can kick this group off with introductions, expectations, and some visions of what we believe Transitioning our Health Care system here in the Tampa bay means.

I am a nurse currently working in a hospital setting.  I would be happy to take the time to answer any of your questions.
