State Health assessment unveiled
DPH has been working for over a year to develop CT’s State Health
Assessment and Health Improvement Plan -- a comprehensive plan to identify health
challenges in CT, set priorities and create an action plan to address them. The
process has been collaborative, inclusive, transparent and through. The plan
focused on promoting health equity, ensuring action steps are feasible,
effective and designed to engage and inspire communities. The plan is
evidence-based with a focus on systems change. The plan set seven final
priority issues with dozens of measurable benchmarks under each. Now comes the
hard part – implementing the plan.
