Presently there is one health educator on staff at the Health Department. That person acts as the Project Director for the Creating Healthy Communities program which is funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Health (https://odh.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odh/know-our-programs/creating-healthy-communities/welcome-to).
Vision: Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice
Mission: Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) is committed to preventing and reducing chronic disease statewide. Through cross-sector collaboration, we are activating communities to improve access to and affordability of healthy food and increase opportunities for physical activity where Ohioans live, work and play. By implementing sustainable evidence-based strategies, CHC is creating a culture of health.
