While activity and nutrition, positive mental health, responsible substance use, safe and affordable housing, and affordable high-quality child care are vital to improving the health of Sheboygan County residents, it is also important to identify cross-cutting themes that connect all five priority areas through social drivers of health.
Health Equity & Resilient Communities
Removing barriers for community members and embracing diversity so everyone can access the community resources they need to be healthy, and providing community members the tools to cope with challenges.
Collective Impact & Policy Alignment
Working across different sectors to discuss and set common goals to solve complex issues within the community that includes aligning organizational policies and moving towards positive policy changes.
Access and Navigation
Ensuring all community members can access and navigate local resources. Access and navigation resources helps build resiliency through increasing community social connections and collaboration.⁽¹⁾
The Healthy Sheboygan County leadership council has created an Access and Navigation team to address this cross-cutting need in a streamlined way throughout Sheboygan County.
