Community Health Network Area - Principles

Community Health Networks are guided by the following principles:

  • Community Health Networks are committed to continuous improvement of health.

  • Community Health Networks are focused on tracking area health indicators and eliminating identified disparities.

  • Community Health Networks are community and resident based.

  • Community Health Networks are inclusive of key stakeholders in health improvement: residents, consumers, coalitions, communities of faith, local and state governments, businesses, and providers of community-based health, education, and human services.

  • Community Health Networks are reflective of the age, racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and linguistic diversity of the area.

  • Community Health Networks are working partnerships among the Department of Public Health, residents, consumers, coalitions, local service providers, local and state governments.
