Virginia Department of Health want to hear from YOU! #YourHealthYourVoice The 2024 CHA Survey is designed to learn about the top health concerns, behaviors, and resource needs of residents living in the Greater Prince William Region (Prince William County, City of Manassas, and City of Manassas Park) and neighboring counties. This 10-minute anonymous survey is available online to everyone 15 years and older: English -> https://bit.ly/cha-survey Spanish -> https://bit.ly/cha-survey This survey is part of a comprehensive regional Community Health Assessment (CHA). Information is collected about what health problems are affecting community members, what services are available, and what needs to improve. We get this info from health data, surveys, community conversations, and most importantly, from YOU. For more information on the Community Health Assessment and to learn which partner organizations are involved visit https://lnkd.in/e2mMuQZu.

Surveys of metropolitan health departments and community-based organizations reveal mistrust, silos, and insufficient shared decision making. Alice T. Chen and coauthors respond with six policy recommendations, including a call for dedicated funding for community partners and formalized roles for community-based organizations in public health decision making. "The authors of this article come from a variety of public health and community backgrounds and together witnessed the extraordinary capacity of CBOs and community health workers to lead public health efforts during the pandemic. When many public health efforts and messages on COVID-19 were met with mistrust and overshadowed by mis- and disinformation, community-led outreach efforts played an essential role."

For the past few years we’ve been delivering the Health Anchors Learning Network funded by The Health Foundation. 'Anchor institutions' are rooted in a place and have significant assets, giving them a real opportunity to use these resources to benefit their community 📈 🚀 Through the Network we support these organisations - such as hospitals, Local Authorities and businesses - to think creatively about tackling inequalities, for instance through employment, environmental action and their supply chains 🌱 ⚖ We've used a variety of methods, including events, toolkits and creating the first online anchor learning programme (it's free, so take a look!) 🛠 In this new #impact story, I summarise how we've leveraged a learning network to drive real change across the UK: https://lnkd.in/em_vEu3p 👀 🎯 #nhsanchors #localauthorities #localgov #tackleinequalities #procurement #environment #employment #placebased #localchange

Our County and Tribal Health Councils are ESSENTIAL for #NMDOH's health equity goals. Health Councils are the representation of local communities across the state, together addressing health disparities, fostering community connections, and coordinating services to ensure meaningful impact. By collaborating with local key partners, they develop targeted strategies to improve health outcomes, bridge service gaps, and promote health equity. Their community-driven approach empowers individuals and enhances overall well-being. Learn how to support YOUR Local Health Council and how to take action!
