Calculations based on the heights and weights reported by the respondents revealed that more than two-thirds (69.2%) were either overweight orobese. More than one in four (26.5%) adults reported having been diagnosed with diabetes; that’s much higher than the state and national averages (10.9%and 10.1%) The diabetes rate was high even among young adults’ ages 18-34 years at nearly 15%. More than half (53.1%) of respondents reported having been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Nearly on half (47.6%) of respondent reported having been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Coronary heart disease was reported by 10.2% of respondents, higher than state and national levels at 4.3%.Priority 1 Improvement Targets – Healthy living to prevent obesity and chronic diseaseGOAL – Equip and motivate Logan County residents to make healthier choicesMeasurable Objectives(How we will know we are making progress)Data Source1.1 Increase the percentage of residents that exercise at least 5 times each week to 30% by 2018 through thepromotion of Healthy Habits initiatives.CHA Survey1.2 Reduce the percentage of overweight and obeseresidents to 65% by 2018.CHA SurveyFrequency ofMeasurement3 years3 yearsIMPROVEMENT STRATEGIESPRIORITY 1 Strategies – Healthy living to prevent obesity and chronic diseaseGOAL – Equip and motivate Logan County residents to make healthier choicesStrategiesLeadTimeline(What we will do to achieve our goals(Who is responsible)and objectives)1.1 Lead Logan County Healthy LivingOngoingCoalition –expansion of communityMRH Communityactivities and educationRelations Dept1.2 Expand the Healthy Habits,Healthy You program providingincreased activities, communityeducation, promotion of successstories and community involvementMRH CommunityRelations Dept &LCHD/Coalition1Q 2016 FinalizePlan2016,2017,2018MeasurementAbility to meet goals setforth by CHIP-Participation Count, Pre &Post Knowledge of Education(Annual)-CHA Survey (3yr)OutcomesChristie Barns, co-chair of thecoalition meets monthly withcommunity partners to establish,prioritize and carry out goals.Healthy Habits Healthy You is beingbranded throughout Logan Countyin a variety of ways; coalitionendorsed events and activities, logodisplayed on Bellefontaine City2 P a g e

KEY FINDING #4:ACCESS/AWARENESS/RESOURCESLogan County has many organizations that provide a wide variety of services and programs designed to meet residents’ health and social service needs.However, data from the 2015 Logan County Community Needs Assessment shows that many residents are not aware of all of the services and programs thatthey could benefit from. They also indicated they have not received important information that can help them make better lifestyle choices and/or seekappropriate care. For example, the assessment showed that: Nearly three quarters of the survey respondents (73.5%) never heard of the Healthy Habits, Healthy You campaign, a major community initiativedesigned to help residents of Logan County make healthier lifestyle choices; another 20% of residents heard about it but knew little or nothing aboutit.In focus groups that were conducted it was found that few of the participants knew about the federally qualified health center (Community Healthand Wellness Partners of Logan County) that has locations in the West Liberty and Indian Lake communities. This center provides a full range of lowcost health care services to Logan County residents.About one-third of respondents indicated they had never received information from providers regarding important health topics such as diet andeating habits (30.7%), physical activity or exercise (31.5%), quitting smoking (33.5%), drug and alcohol addiction (38.8%), and mental health issues(35.2%).During the community Call-To-Action, seventy (70) community partners shared concerns regarding the lack of knowledge and contact information foravailable resources throughout Logan County.IMPROVEMENT TARGETSPRIORITY #4 Improvement Targets – Access/Awareness/ResourcesGOAL – Effectively disseminate information about the community’s health and social service programs to all Logan County residentsMeasurable ObjectivesData SourceFrequency of(How we will know we are making progress)Measurement1.1 Increase awareness/use among residents in at-riskCHWP/ MRH PracticesAnnuallyNeighborhoods of Community Health and Wellness Partners of Logan County and MRHPhysician Practice by 2018.1.2Increase awareness among residents and agencies ofLogan County about services and community resources related to health and mentalhealth.1.3 Increase access of transportation to available resources and services.1.4 Decrease percentage of individuals traveling outside of Logan County for Urgent CareServicesCoalitionCHA SurveyAnnually3 yearsTLCCHA SurveyCHA SurveyAnnually3 years3 yearsIMPROVEMENT STRATEGIESPRIORITY 4 Improvement Strategies – Access/Awareness/ResourcesGOAL – Effectively disseminate information about the community’s health and social service programs16 P a g e
