Mission
The Sussex County Child Health Promotion Coalition exists to engage the
entire community in collaborative, family-focused efforts to improve the
health of our children.
Community Vision
We envision a community in which our citizens and institutions (public,
private, and not-for-profit) are actively engaged in child health promotion
as a shared community good, and working together to create a cultural and
physical environment which supports healthy lifestyles for our children and
their families.
Coalition Vision
Our Coalition will be viewed by our community as a respected source of
knowledge and action for child health promotion, with an organizational
culture that is inclusive, welcoming, respectful, trustworthy, non-partisan,
listening, responsive, action-oriented, and accountable.
Core Strategies
Our Coalition will employ ten core strategies to advance our mission and
vision for Sussex County:
- Monitor child health status
- Raise community awareness of child health
issues.
- Give voice to community concerns and
ideas.
- Expand and publicize the knowledge base
on child health promotion.
- Proactively engage people and
organizations from all sectors (not-for-profit, public, private) in child
health promotion.
- Facilitate development of child and
family health promotion strategies.
- Develop and mobilize community resources
for child health promotion.
- Build community capacity for policy and
program development.
