SCHPC Mission
The Sussex County Child Health Promotion Coalition exists to engage the entire community in collaborative family-focused effort to improve the health of children and youth in Sussex County.
SCHPC 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.
SCHPC Goals
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.
