Community and State Experts to Speak on Measuring Community Health at Unite Us Town Hall

Blog

Join Unite Us for our Building Healthier Communities Together Town Hall. Hear from state and community health experts on the necessary inputs and measurements to truly achieve and sustain community health and health equity.

Despite an increasing interest in community health and available data to better understand the drivers of health across communities, there remain many questions on how we build and measure the inputs that lead to successful health outcomes. On April 22nd, Unite Us, our partners, and experts in community and state health will take a deep dive into several discussions including our evidence-based, data-driven Community Action Framework focused on creating healthier communities.

In our new white paper “Building Healthier Communities: A Community Action Framework,” author and Unite Us Vice President of Social Care Integration, Melissa Sherry, shares an evidence-based, data-driven framework we use along with our partners to systemically define, measure, and improve community infrastructure needed to advance health equity.

In the paper, we:

  • Summarize and draw from existing community action frameworks for strengthening communities;
  • Present the Unite Us framework for using Unite Us data to monitor and evaluate the key domains that lead to community health outcomes;
  • Provide an action plan for operationalizing the Unite Us framework in pursuit of more equitable community health outcomes.
