A Step Towards Building a Healthier Community -
The Ventura County Community Health Improvement Collaborative (VCCHIC) engaged in a process to assess overall population health and develop priorities that will inform planning for building a healthier community.
To thrive, everyone in the community needs to be given the opportunity to live a long, healthy life, regardless of his or her background or socioeconomic status. The conditions of the physical environment where people live, learn, work and play present a wide range of health risks and outcomes. We are committed to supporting environments that protect and promote the health and well-being of residents equitably. We developed a multi-sectoral partnership with the objective of breaking down siloes in healthcare and identifying intersecting issues that impact the county population that all the health agencies in the partnership serve. Based on the results of our Community Health Needs Assessment, these are the priorities to implement:
PRIORITY 1
