The Chatham Health Alliance is a collaborative of local professionals and residents working together to improve health in Chatham County. The purpose of the Alliance is to bring both traditional and nontraditional partners together to work on issues affecting health in Chatham County, with a focus on the health priorities identified in the Community Health Assessment- Obesity, Access to Mental Health Services, and Access to Healthcare. Members of the Alliance strive to share resources and work together to enhance existing efforts and achieve a greater collective impact than we would individually. We use a systems approach of education, incentives, and policy tools to effect holistic change for the whole person, whole family, and whole community.
