(2004)--Created by the Board of Directors to provide on-going financial support to fulfill the mission of Washington County Health Partners, Inc. which is to:
serve as a catalyst to unite the energies of the community to improve peace of mind, body, and spirit by:
 |
identifying and addressing aspects of our community health and wellness that are less than optimal; |
|
empowering collaborative Task Forces to conduct activities that will enhance the community health status; and |
|
encouraging citizens to make positive decisions that lead to peace of mind, body and spirit. |
Recognized as a State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) Community Health Partnership by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, WCHP performs periodic community health assessments to identify county health issues.
WCHP provides a forum through its volunteer-led, collaborative task forces for health and human service agencies, businesses, local government, schools and colleges, the faith community, civic organizations, community volunteers, and law enforcement to combine expertise and resources to address health issues, including access to health insurance, community wellness, minority health, nutrition, respiratory health, teen wellness, and tobacco free initiatives.
