Introduction to Community Health Outreach

Community Health Outreach can be used to inventory healthcare resources and promote access to services that increase community well-being.

Health and Human Services agencies have learned that a community's health goes beyond just access to healthcare services. Increasing public health requires a robust and transparent public education campaign that provides accurate healthcare information, progress on key healthy community initiatives, and guidance needed to access assistance. Understanding where healthcare services are available and marketing actions being taken to improve the health and well-being of residents is a key aspect of any healthy community program. Community Health Outreach is typically implemented by public or private health and human services agencies that want to increase the quality of life for all residents and ensure the public understands where health services can be found in the community.

The Community Health Outreach solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you develop an inventory of healthcare resources, promote key community health initiatives, and increase access to healthcare services.
