A COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH
We believe that a community-based approach to prevention and overcoming disparity can signficantly reduce costs and improve outcomes.
In Kent County, health improvement efforts suffer from inefficiencies, lack of alignment, and missed opportunities. As a result, we have not yet achieved the level of health and well-being deserved by all who live, work, learn, and play here.
