Health Workgroup
The health workgroup will work to explore the common health challenges the region is facing now and in the future. This group will utilize available data, examine public health indicators and, guided by the methodology employed for Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Health Impact Assessments (HIAs), evaluate the region to determine what policies, plans, programs and/or projects are needed to improve the health of the population and workforce for a better future. Strategies may be developed to support, but will not be limited to, the following objectives (as outlined in the original grant application and workplan documentation):
- Development of tools (such as HIAs, and CHAs) to analyze potential health benefits/impacts of various activities
- Develop partnerships so that health impacts are taken into consideration in transportation, housing, and employment decision-making
* The aforementioned objectives were generated as part of the initial HUD Sustainable Communities application process. As the GroWNC process unfolds, the workgroups should assume full liberty in revising goal statements.
