Countywide Vision The Countywide Vision • A complete county • A sustainable system of community health “…and all sectors work collaboratively to reach shared goals.”
Community Vital Signs - Beginning • Spearheaded by Departments of Public and Behavioral Health and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in 2011. • Originally built upon Countywide Vision to develop a Community Health Assessment to analyze health of the region, identify barriers to services, and establish health priorities for the County.
Community Vital Signs – Today Community Vital Signs: • Is a community health improvement framework jointly developed by San Bernardino County residents, organizations and government. • It builds upon the Countywide Vision by setting evidence-based goals and priorities for action • It provides the basis for aligning and leveraging resources and efforts by diverse agencies, organizations and institutions to empower the community to make healthy choices.
Community Vital Signs – Today • Community driven. • Purpose, Vision, and Value statements developed and adopted by community leaders. • Stakeholders identified short and mid-term objectives. • Aligns with the Countywide Vision
