What Is Community Health?

Community health is the collective level of health for a group of people who live, work, or play together. A person’s whole health is influenced by their larger community, and the health of those communities is in turn influenced by each person.

Data-driven insights help us better understand individual and community needs and identify what’s most needed to support health. Tracking those community trends and then working with community organizations can help create a more holistic view and a connected support system.
