FAQ
Community health focuses on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of people specific to a geographic location. In simpler terms, community health refers to the overall health of people who live, work, and play together.
The health of your community directly affects the quality of life and children’s success, and improving it can reduce human suffering. Community health also impacts educational achievements, crime rates, and life expectancy and can ultimately save money.
Improved community health can lead to lower healthcare costs and improved member/employee health outcomes. Good community health will also serve to enhance a reputation and build a more resilient and productive community.
We begin with a Starting Point Assessment, which we call the Burning Why Tool. This exercise is for local health departments to complete before our initial kickoff meeting. We use this to understand the current health priorities, how you would rate your community on a scale of 1 to 5 across key pillars, and to identify weaknesses, vulnerabilities, or other unpleasant issues or concerns.
We facilitate the creation and revision of Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA), which include a Community Status Assessment, a Community Partner Assessment, and a Community Context Assessment. Each of these assessments is part of the MAPP 2.0 process by NACCHO and completed at varying stages and by varying community members, giving us the most accurate representation of your community’s unique needs.
We provide ongoing support services tailored to your community’s specific needs. We ensure long-term success by supporting existing plans, tracking community trends, assisting with the adaptation of new initiatives, and so much more. Learn more about our ongoing support services.
Improving community health can take many different forms. It starts with ensuring basic needs are met, like food, shelter, and education. Promote healthier lifestyles within your community, starting with one person at a time. Create opportunities for community members to take control of their health and improve their lives, like eliminating barriers to health screenings and preventative care.
