Uniting us towards a healthier Frederick County
Join Our April Quarterly Community Health Stakeholders Meeting!
Join us on Thursday, April 24 from 8:00am - 9:00am to hear important and exciting updates from the Frederick County Health Department and our three Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP) Workgroups: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Type 2 Diabetes, and Mental Health.
We will also welcome special guest speakers Jay Hessler and Hillary Gross from the Frederick County Health Department as they share the latest data on suicide in Frederick County.
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
