ACON: 40 YEARS OF COMMUNITY
ACON was established in 1985, marking the beginning of our journey in building strong, dynamic, vibrant, diverse, resilient, proud, inclusive and healthy communities. Now, as then, our purpose is to create opportunities for people in our communities to live healthier, more connected lives. We’re here for health – always.
In 2025, ACON celebrates its 40th anniversary and we are inviting you to take part in our community program as we mark this important milestone. Join us as we remember the past, reflect on how far our communities have come, and unite as we look to the future.
