Community Health
Our work acts in cooperation to strengthen and improve whole-person health for the communities within the WICHC ten-county region.
From hearing and centering community voices, to convening partners, and using data-driven strategies – we are working together towards the vision of sustainable, equitable health for everyone.
Our Strategies
Social Influencers of Health
Social Influencers, commonly referred to as “social determinants” are the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that impact health risks and outcomes. Research has shown that where a person lives has a greater impact on their health than their genetic code. In order to make the biggest impact and realize the most cost savings, we have to address the root cause of these health issues, and address the influencers of health.
