Community Health

Our approach to community health focuses on the health status and well-being of our municipalities. Community health involves assessing and addressing the health needs of the population in a collaborative and integrated manner.

Community Health Services

Overall, community health aims to improve the health of a specific population or community by addressing the unique health needs and challenges of that population through a coordinated and collaborative approach. It involves a wide range of initiates and interventions, such as:

Disease Prevention

Disease prevention and health promotion: Our efforts aim to prevent disease and promote healthy behaviors, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and regular health checkups.

Health education

We provide education and information to individuals and groups about health topics, including disease prevention, healthy living, and disease management.

Access to healthcare
Community health efforts aim to increase access to healthcare for underserved or marginalized populations, including low-income families, the elderly, and those living in rural areas.
Disease surveillance and outbreak management
Community health professionals monitor disease outbreaks and respond quickly to contain them to prevent further spread.
Environmental health
Community health also includes efforts to identify and address environmental factors that can impact public health, such as air pollution, water contamination, and hazardous waste.
