STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - 9:30 am – Donovan Bldg., Canton

Welcome to the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance web page. We represent a partnership between the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and residents, hospitals, service agencies, schools, businesses, boards of health, and other concerned citizens, working together to identify the health needs of the local community, find ways to address those needs, and improve the community’s health.

The focus of the CHNA has changed in the last year to a broader, more comprehensive approach to developing healthier communities in the 13 towns that comprise the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance. We have defined a healthy community below:

A Healthy Community supports the health and welfare of its members by:

a.      Embracing diversity through respect and concern
b.      Knowing itself
c.       Generating leadership everywhere
d.      Connecting people and resources
e.      Creating a sense of community
f.        Shaping its future
g.      Practicing ongoing dialogue
h.      Planning for a safe and clean environment
i.        Implementing the design and use of communal spaces

The focus is deliberately broad to encompass all our ideals as well as member agency’s mission. By being broad and inclusive we hope to engage all of the CHNA members in working toward creating healthier communities throughout the thirteen CHNA towns.
