Advancing the health and well-being of our community means not waiting until people become patients. We recognize a person’s health is influenced by social and economic factors in the places where they live, learn, work and play.

Along with community partners, we identified strategies to address the top three health challenges facing Lancaster County: mental health and well-being, obesity, and substance misuse and abuse. Many of the strategies focus on prevention and eliminating barriers to achieve optimal health.

Advocating for Healthy Living

We strive to improve health by supporting programs and policies that have a positive influence on health outcomes and make it easier for people to make healthier choices where they live, work, play, and learn.
