Close to 150 policy makers, health care providers, nonprofit leaders, advocates and other community members in Frederick County met Wednesday afternoon to learn about local public health concerns and discuss potential interventions.
The forum, which took place over Zoom, represented the latest step in the current iteration of Frederick County’s health improvement process — a triennial project led by the county’s health care coalition, Health Department and largest health system that analyzes local community health needs and creates a plan for targeting these issues through collective action and public engagement.
Laying the groundwork for improving the health of Frederick County is something that requires “all hands on deck,” Pilar Olivo, president of the health care coalition’s board of directors, told participants Wednesday.
