Place matters to health 

Healthy communities create healthy individuals

‣ WHAT? Invest in the areas that influence health and ensure communities of opportunity, such as education, employment, housing and community safety.

‣ WHY? Because prevention works and everyone deserves to thrive by living in a healthy community with opportunity. 

‣ HOW? Through a lens of equity that optimizes fair inclusion and participation.

Attainment of the highest level of health for all people. 

HEALTH EQUITY 

Health equity has been the central focus for broad community health improvements in Louisville, KY

‣ Youth ages 16‐24 not in school or work

‣ Disconnected from opportunity:

– Quality education

– Job training and work‐ready skills

‣ Almost 5 million, or 1 in 8 youth nationwide

‣ Most prevalent among Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics and Alaskan Natives

Why focus on disconnected youth ?

– Invisible population and untapped potential in the community

– Easier to prevent disconnection early than re‐engaging later in adulthood
