Chronic Disease has been identified as a priority health concern and is a part of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
Chronic diseases are long-lasting conditions that can be managed but not cured. They often develop over time and persist for months or years. Common examples include heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer. These conditions can significantly impact quality of life and may lead to serious health complications or premature death if not properly managed. Addressing chronic disease is essential to improving public health, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing the quality of life for affected individuals.
Join an Issue Action Group – your voice matters!
TCC is launching Issue Action Groups (IAGs) focused on health priorities identified in Calhoun County’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). We are recruiting community members and organizations to join an IAG and collaborate with us toward creating a healthier Calhoun County!
Join the Chronic Disease Issue Action Group (sign-up here) that meets on the 3rd Monday of each month from 4-5 pm ET.
Issue Action Groups will meet virtually and collaboratively work together to address these important health priorities. If you have any questions or want to learn more, reach out to our IAG Facilitator, Hannah Mesa at hmesa@summitpointe.org or (269) 420-0382.
