Our Health, Our Future: Tri-County Health Improvement Plan 2018-2023 is the first comprehensive health improvement plan in our region that provides concrete recommendations and action steps for improving health outcomes that can be carried out by a wide range of local organizations, groups and individuals. More than 80 volunteers representing 60 organizations invested roughly 2,300 hours in the development of the Tri-County Health Improvement Plan (TCHIP). South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, (now Department of Public Health) served as the technical assistance provider for the development of the plan, and will support the implementation of many identified recommendations and action steps moving forward. Health care providers, nonprofit and service providers and local government organizations can find comprehensive information and technical action steps in the TCHIP.
Our Health, Our Future: Tri-County Health Improvement Plan provides recommendations and action steps to address five prioritized health topics:
- Access to Care
- Behavioral Health – including mental health and substance use
- Clinical Preventative Services – including immunizations, cancer screenings and diabetes prevention
- Maternal, Infant & Child Health
- Obesity, Nutrition & Physical Activity
No single person, group or organization can independently tackle the monumental health challenges facing our region. Therefore, Healthy Tri-County and the organizations that make up the initiative call on the community to invest time, talent and treasure to build a healthier community. Collectively, we can and will make a difference!
Healthy Tri-County is a
multi-sector regional initiative to improve health outcomes in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties in South Carolina.
