Our Health Improvement Coalition

In 2011, a group of community leaders from the areas of education, health, faith, business, non-profit, and local government sectors formed to advise WellSpan Health (formerly Summit Health), on a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), which is conducted every 3 years. In 2013, this group evolved into a community collaborative -- Healthy Franklin County. We utilize a collective impact model to align resources and work together to improve the health and well-being of all Franklin county residents. Through the utilization of data, we can integrate practices and coordinate improvements that will provide collective impact, leading to positive change. Health is not just about disease or illness. We know that health depends on the mental, social and physical well-being of an individual. 

​

Here's our current organizational chart which reflects our current priorities, task force and work groups. To learn more about our task forces, initiatives and how to get involved, contact Noel Purdy at npurdy@wellspan.org
