The Cost to the Community™ Report: Why Every County Leader Needs This Now

Public health decisions are no longer just about compliance — they’re about economics.

When budgets tighten and audits loom, the question that matters most to decision-makers, boards, and taxpayers is:

“What is this costing us — and what will we save if we act?”

The Cost to the Community™ Report answers that question in hard numbers, delivering audit-ready, PHAB-aligned, ROI-focused analysis your board will understand in minutes.

It’s not a theoretical model. It’s your county’s real annual financial burden from preventable conditions — mapped, quantified, and tied directly to strategic solutions.

Why Administrators and Officials Say Yes — and Why Some Say No

Over the years, we’ve seen the exact reasons leaders either act or stall on this report. Here’s the reality:

Why They Say Yes Immediately

• They see the funding opportunity: Federal, state, and philanthropic grants often require documented economic impact.

• They need leverage for boards and councils: Clear cost data makes approvals easier.

• They want audit protection: PHAB reviewers and state auditors value documented ROI in decision-making.

• They are tired of “fluff” reports: They want clear, dollar-based answers, not 200-page policy documents.

Why They Hesitate

• “It’s not in the budget.” → Reality: At $7,500, the report typically pays for itself many times over in funding leverage and cost-avoidance strategies.

• “We already have a CHNA.” → Reality: A CHNA rarely quantifies annual cost per condition or ROI scenarios — and if it does, it’s national data, not local.

• “We’re not in an audit year.” → Reality: Audits, board reviews, and public questions don’t wait for your planning cycle. The report is a proactive shield.

“We’re too busy right now.”

 → Reality: We deliver in 21 days with minimal staff time. You approve the scope, we do the rest.

What the Cost to the Community™ Report Delivers

In five clear steps, we turn data into decisive action:

1. Estimate Annual Cases — We calculate local case counts for key preventable conditions (e.g., Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, opioid misuse).

2. Apply Cost per Case — Using peer-reviewed, conservative estimates tailored to your county.

3. Map Geographic Burden — Census tract or ZIP-level mapping to show exactly where the economic impact hits hardest.

4. Model ROI Scenarios — Show how targeted interventions could save millions.

5. Strategic Use of Findings — Recommendations for grant applications, budget requests, and policy alignment.
