Roadmaps to Health Action Awards Announced
Roadmaps to Health Action Awards have been given to 20 diverse communities throughout the nation. The Action Awards, which are designed to advance a community’s potential to improve health, are part of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHR&R) program.
Award communities will receive a year of direct, customized support from a Roadmaps to Health community coach and be able to participate in learning network activities. The Action Award communities will also receive $10,000 to accelerate their efforts in building a Culture of Health.
“The Roadmaps to Health Action Award communities are well-positioned to leverage the networking opportunities, coaching and funding this award offers to build on their existing momentum,” said Julie Willems Van Dijk, co-director of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. “These communities are committed to better health. We hope the next year of hands-on, coordinated support and learning enables these communities to take their work to the next level.”
