Program Description

  Community and Population Health

Community and Population Health leads countywide efforts to improve health and well-being through evidence-based, data-driven policies and programs. This includes coordinating the Healthy Montgomery community health improvement process, which brings together County agencies, hospitals, minority health initiatives, community organizations, academic institutions, and other stakeholders to advance health equity for all residents. The division also operates the HHS Mobile Health Clinic, which delivers integrated medical, dental, behavioral health, and human services directly to underserved communities to reduce health disparities. In addition, Community and Population Health develops strategies to prevent chronic diseases, improve disease management, and reduce health care utilization and costs, with a focus on addressing health disparities and promoting population-level health improvement.
