Resident population.Population Health and Well-being
Population health and well-being is something we create as a society, not something an individual can attain in a clinic or be responsible for alone. Health is more than being free from disease and pain; health is the ability to thrive. Well-being covers both quality of life and the ability of people and communities to contribute to the world. Population health involves optimal physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being.Power
Power is the ability to achieve a purpose and to effect change. People can build community power when they organize and act together to set agendas, shift public discourse, influence who makes decisions and cultivate relationships with decision makers. Societal rules and how they are created and maintained by those with power are referred to as the structural determinants of health.Powering narrative change through partnerships
In 2021, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps joined with Human Impact Partners to build a health equity narrative infrastructure. Together, we started Narratives for Health to help public health, health care and community organizations accelerate change for health, equity and racial justice.
