Uniting us towards a healthier Frederick County
New 2025-2028 Local Health Improvement Priorities
The next step in building community health involves bringing together members of the public and community partners to form local health improvement planning Workgroups. Anyone interested in joining a Workgroup to address one or more of the priorities is welcome. Diverse voices will strengthen the foundations of community health!
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.
