Uniting us towards a healthier Frederick County

None of us can affect measurable change on our own.
Our Coalition serves our community by providing a structure for passionate leaders to collaborate so that together, we can make a lasting impact and improve the lifelong wellbeing of Frederick County residents.
Current Priorities
These priorities were selected through a robust assessment process with substantial community input within the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process. Now, health partners collaborate with members of our community in one of our three Health Improvement Planning Workgroups and turn ideas into action.
Adverse Childhood Experiences in Adolescents
Raising awareness about the impact of toxic stress on children and families and promoting systems that build healthy brains and reduce the effects of toxic stress
Type 2 Diabetes
Broadening awareness of type 2 diabetes amongst community members and the medical community to make it easier to prevent and manage this chronic illness
Mental Health
Helping the community understand that “mental health” is “health,” because mental health disorders are common, treatable, and in many cases, preventable

We need stories like yours.
We all have our own health journey, and we witness the health and wellbeing of our families and loved ones. At the Coalition, we seek to make a lasting impact on our community’s health, and that success relies on our capacity to understand the challenges and opportunities that our residents face. If you would like to get involved to share your perspective on health and wellbeing, please contact us.
