The Coalition Board of Directors is developing a website and plans a community outreach meeting for health education and awareness in the near future. Program topics will include programs and resources for physical health, mental and behavioral health, spiritual health, elder care and services, youth, safety, and substance abuse in Darke County. The Coalition’s vision is “a healthy, vibrant, safe and secure community that thrives together at home, at school, and at work.”
The purpose of the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County, Inc. (Coalition) is to understand and promote community decision making, collaboration and ownership among many different organizations through joint action. The Coalition will permit these organizations to work together to resolve specific community challenges such as health and substance abuse. The Coalition will create a community of care revolving around health with opportunities for collaborative funding, creating structured systems and processes, shared resources, comprehensive planning, ongoing reporting and public communication, celebrating results and continuous improvement.
