We're proud to share that the countywide Community Health Assessment (CHA) has been completed! Typically conducted every five years, the CHA helps the Health Department document #WashtenawCounty’s health needs so we can work to address them together with partners and community through collaborative planning and activities. “Our Health Department’s approach to this process is really rooted in our commitment to health equity,” says Dayna Brimley, MPH, community health analyst. “Conducting a CHA is a huge lift that would not have been possible without the passion and commitment of our community members and organizations.” The CHA forms the foundation of the next step of this work: creating a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The three priority areas for the 2024 CHIP are mental health, access to health care, and access to healthy food. “The next part of our process is all about putting actionable goals in place to make real improvements in each of these priority areas - together,” says Brimley. Read more about how our CHA was conducted and what's next in our full press release: https://bit.ly/wcha3261 #HealthyTogether [El Departamento de Salud del Condado de Washtenaw Comparte la Evaluación de Salud en la Comunidad y las Prioridades de Salud Señaladas: https://bit.ly/spwc3261]

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play an essential role in bridging the gap between healthcare providers and the communities they serve. Through their embedded, place-based approach, CHWs understand the unique needs and challenges of their communities, providing personalized support, education, and resources. Their efforts are crucial to addressing social determinants of health – effectively promoting health equity, improving access to care, and fostering trust within the community. By empowering CHWs, we can make significant strides in tackling issues like housing, food security, and mental health, ultimately building healthier, more resilient communities.

Frontline community health workers are the backbone of strong, healthy societies. Globally, 70% of them are women who play a vital role in connecting communities with health systems, but they face barriers like heavy workloads, low or no pay, and lack of training. Investing in and supporting community health workers expands access to care, particularly in hard-to-reach communities, resulting in a world in which frontline community health workers are empowered, valued, and prioritized as key to resilient, responsive, equitable, and sustainable health systems. That’s why we’re telling the #WorldHealthAssembly that #SheHealsTheWorld. Learn more at care.org/SheHeals

Community health workers (#CHWs) are vital for universal health coverage (UHC)! Undeniable evidence shows that CHWs deliver primary health care that improves access, increases equity, and saves lives. That’s why at #UNGA79 we’re advocating for professional CHWs (#proCHWs) who are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied to be the norm worldwide. Join us as we work towards #healthforall.

The Integrator: The LCOs are coming It’s an exciting time, in theory, for community health services. Ministers, and Lord Darzi, suggest they should have more resources, and they will clearly be pivotal in the promised “neighbourhood health service”. But it will also be a double-edged sword, intensifying scrutiny and change. And, rather than community services leading the change, they risk being pulled in different directions by others. https://lnkd.in/ex9hKJss

Agreed! Social Determinants of Health include factors that can be the cause of health problems and they can lead to unnecessary hospitalizations, poorer health outcomes, and worse prognosis. Understanding and targeting SDOH is essential for developing long-term protections for communities disproportionately impacted by the healthcare system. Through a holistic view of the problem, we can find a better solution together. #Healthcare #SDOH #Health
