We believe that individuals and organizations in Carroll County, Maryland - with diverse skills, respectful work relationships, a willingness to innovate, and a shared healthier community vision - can improve health and quality of life in our community.

Identifying the areas where our community has opportunities for improvement is accomplished via accurate, valid and frequent assessment processes. Our Core Health Improvement Areas (CHIA's) are strikingly similar to the leading indicators in the U.S. Government’s Healthy People 2020 project.

To track our progress, we maintain local community health data in a project called Healthy Carroll Vital Signs. 

You'll find a graph icon in the upper right corner of each CHIA page listed at right. Click on a CHIA page and then on the icon to view the most recent data for indicators in that Area.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Together with our partners, we will make measurable, long-term progress toward our goals
