Community asked to help improve Hill County's health

From Hill County Health Consortium

A coalition of health care providers is asking Hill County residents to help prepare a plan to improve the health of county residents.

The groups drafting the Hill County Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan have invited people to a forum Friday, Dec. 1, from noon to 2 p.m. to discuss the 2017 Hill County Community Health Needs Assessment Survey and help identify the top three priorities in health needs to be addressed in a community health improvement plan.

The forum will be held at the Health Department meeting room and is sponsored by the Hill County Health Consortium. This forum provides a chance for people who see a need in the community to have their voice heard.

After the community forum, the next step will be to develop a community health improvement plan to help guide the Hill County community in addressing the top three health priority needs. That will be done by identifying specific objectives or actions over the next three years and identifying ways to measure those needs to determine the impact of actions the community takes.
