✌ It is certainly role of a patient driven organisation to understand why different disciplines, stakeholders look at a same condition differently. Where does your depression live? In your brain?

Recent Investments: In 2024, UHA invested more than $500,000 in 31 different community health-oriented programs. These programs address a wide range of health determinants, including behavioral health, healthy lifestyles, and support for children and families. Application Process: Organizations seeking funding must submit detailed applications outlining their project goals, budget, and how their initiatives align with CHIP priorities. Applications are reviewed by the Community Advisory Council (CAC), and successful projects must demonstrate measurable outcomes and community benefits.

The plan includes specific goals, objectives, and strategies to improve health outcomes in the community. UHA’s commitment to these initiatives underscores its dedication to fostering a healthier, more resilient community in Douglas County.
