Our focus is on improving and accelerating population health

Our Focus

PopHLC is a learning collaborative focusing on improving and accelerating the refinement and adoption of practices to improve population health.

We work on Community Health Needs Assessments, (CHNAs), Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) development and management practices.

There are an extraordinary number of innovations to greatly enhance each of these foundational practices and PopHLC provides a space to come together to share and learn.

Why?

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.
