As one of the state’s new Coordinated Care Organizations, Health Share is responsible for improving the health of the community it serves, including the health of socially and culturally diverse populations. Through a community health assessment, Health Share will identify health disparities associated with race, ethnicity, language, health literacy, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, geography, occupation and other factors in the Tri-County Metro region. The Council plays an active role in conducting a community health assessment and in designing, implementing and annually updating a community health improvement plan.
