Upper Valley Agenda for Public Health Priorities
Addressing Substance Misuse by building a comprehensive network of prevention, treatment, and recovery services that meet the needs of our region.
Public Health Emergency Preparedness ensures we are ready to respond and recover from emergencies of all kinds.
Helping Older Adults Stay Strong and Independent preserves dignity, health, and a meaningful place in our communities and families for older adults.
Supporting People Living with Mental Illness through effective treatment and community supports reduces stigma and traumatic experiences, allowing people to live more healthy, productive lives.
Climate and Health work builds resilient communities and prepares us all for the health impacts of a changing climate.
Lead poisoning is entirely preventable. However, nearly 1 million children living in the United States have blood levels high enough to impair their ability to think, learn, and concentrate.
Strengthening Families: All families have supports to be healthy and thrive in our community, to include awareness of child abuse and neglect; trauma informed care & services; and access to healthy food.
