The Healthy Lucas County coalition is a broad partnership of health, government, and community entities working to assess community health needs and implement plans to improve health outcomes in Lucas County.
Established in 1999, the HLC coalition develops and implements a community health assessment (CHA) every three years to inform collaborative strategies aimed at reducing health disparities and improving health status. We’re especially focused on addressing the needs of residents living in low-income areas and helping everyone live to their fullest potential.
Healthy Lucas County is supported by our funding partners. An Executive Committee made up of decision-makers from each partner organization governs Healthy Lucas County, and a list of our member organizations can be found here.
Healthy Lucas County is coordinated by the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department.
