Community can now view progress on region's health

Get an overview of key health indicators on our Regional Health Measures webpage. Selected by the Regional Commission on Community Health Improvement, the measures cover health outcomes, such as premature death; community indicators, like childhood immunization; and clinical measures, including nursing home use.

Color-coded icons and linked trend graphs indicate how the region is doing over time. Drop-down tables organize data by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and geography. 

The measures show recent changes such as a dramatic decline in preventable hospitalizations from 2010 to 2014 and a rise in emergency department visits with behavioral health diagnoses. Review all 16 measures here.


 
Healthi Kids earns national award for library project

FLHSA's Healthi Kids has won a $10,000 national award to combine literacy, physical activity and play into a story book walk outside Phillis Wheatley Community Library in the Southwest quadrant of Rochester.

The award from KaBOOM! will bring to life the neighborhood’s favorite stories outside the walls of the library. Pages from a story will be mounted on wooden poles outside the library, and the story will change monthly to reflect the library’s programming.

Youth from the library will create interactive sidewalks and write stories to bring books to life. For details, click here.
