POPULATION HEALTH FRAMEWORK
Whether it’s population health management or population health as an approach to research, there is a growing interest and understanding of the general term among health care and public health practitioners. The growing understanding that health care only makes up roughly 20% of an individual’s overall health outcomes and that where they live, learn, work and play contributes more has dictated that health care, public health, government, business and other disciplines pull together to create appropriate, effective and financially efficient solutions to our communities’ health challenges. |

EQUITY
Understanding and addressing equity will be the key to reducing the disparities that exist among all communities. Equity and its path to health is complex. Learn more about the path and explore resources to better understand. |
