Comprehensive Community Prevention Plan

Healthy Communities Coalition (HCC) serves as a neutral convener and a backbone organization with a collective impact resulting from strategies that promote health and wellness and improve behavioral health outcomes. Our Comprehensive Community Prevention Plan is an integrated prevention framework with strategies for implementing data-driven and evidence-based approaches. We use multiple strategies because no single strategy or program can move a community-level indicator. Positive community change occurs through a collective impact when all sectors, including community members of all ages and diverse organizations, work together on common goals.

HCC recognizes what it takes to build a healthy community:

  • Innovation grounded in evidence

  • Partnerships across non-profit, education, health care, and local government sectors, among others

  • Commitment to all residents having an opportunity to lead their healthiest lives.

HCC supports residents of the region in managing their own health choices and shares accurate information to ensure they can make the best decisions for their own health in the short term and long term. This Plan is a “living document” that can be adapted to changing circumstances.
