   We Support a Healthier Future - Healthy People 2020

Healthy Kent 2020 is modeled after the nation’s Healthy People 2020 initiative. Local data in the Community Health Indicators Report uses Healthy People objectives as a target for the health goals of Kent County Michigan. Click the logo above for information on the 10-year agenda for improving the Nation’s health.

 
Indicators

The 2009 Community Health Indicators Report provides an overview of key health indicators for Kent County. Each indicator is an important health issue by itself, but together, these indicators help us understand that there are many factors that matter to the health of individuals and communities. This report tracts indicators over time and compares Kent County to Michigan and the Nation. The report also benchmarks the most recent data to data collected in 2002. It is intended to be the basis for generalized statements about whether health in Kent County is improving, declining or staying the same.

Suicide Prevention 2011 Annual Report

The Healthy Kent Suicide Prevention Coalition has released their Suicide Prevention Plan to the community. It sets out a direction we must follow so those we care about do not die by suicide or suffer pain and grief of its aftermath. The plan addresses awareness, prevention and survivor support. It demands a community response to meet the vision of a suicide-free Kent County. If you are interested in endorsing the plan and getting involved, please contact Barb Hawkins-Palmer, Executive Director of Healthy Kent 2010 at 616-632-7281 or at barb.hawkins-palmer@kentcountymi.gov
