The Challenge
We have 5 years to begin shifting our current health profile. This means creating a trajectory that will lead to a major leap upward in our overall health ranking. Health is used in its broadest sense, to cover everything from individual health and wellbeing to economic vitality. Wellville is looking at 5 areas of impact across all 5 communities, and specific measures will be defined.
These are the 5 general impact areas currently being looked at to determine progress:
Health Impact:
People feel better, better quality of life and less premature death
Social impact:
Strong social connections, community safety increases
Economic Impact:
Costs due to lost work days goes down, health care costs go down, fewer children in poverty, job training, more business and employment opportunities
Sustainability:
Local policy leads to innovations in wellness and prevention financing, cross sector data measures progress and outcomes
Wild card:
Choice of one additional impact area significant to Lake County.
