Improving Community Health
The challenges we are addressing--issues like chronic disease, addiction, poverty, toxic stress, and Social Determinants of Health--are serious and often getting worse. Fortunately, there are many promising innovations and inspiring examples of how we can do things better. To improve community health, it is essential that we accelerate the process of learning and putting this knowledge into action.
It can take a long time for new practices, innovations, and tools to make their way into conventional programs that train people working on Population Health and community health improvement. PopHLC leverages technology to efficiently bring you resources and tools to learn and apply cutting-edge information to address complex community health issues more effectively.
