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 eleven Core Health Improvement Areas (CHIA's) are strikingly similar to the leading indicators in the U.S. Government’s Healthy People 2010 project. We also recognize Three Pillars of Health that distinguish The Partnership's health improvement work.

To track our progress, we maintain local community health data in a project called Healthy Carroll Vital Signs.  You'll find an icon is in the upper right corner of each CHIA page, and links to charts and graphs that show the most recent status of each indicator.

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