As part of the Revisiting the Rochester Narrative, we spoke with Wade Norwood, a long-term resident of Bull’s Head whose love for his community shows in the passionate words and tone used to describe his experience. Now, as chief executive officer of Common Ground Health –– an organization which brings to light community based health issues through research, data collection and analysis –– he reflects on the ways in which his upbringing in Bull’s Head helped shape his work today. Through this auditory experience, we get a closer look at the story of a person whose strong connection to their community lives through the past, present and into the future.
