NEW! Interactive Jessamine County Data Source: mySidewalk Community Health Status Assessment Dashboard

The Jessamine County Healthy and Safe Communities Coalition (formerly the National Safety Council accredited Safe Communities Coalition) is a collaboration of community partners that are committed to improving four priority health and safety issues as identified in our Community Health Assessment and Improvement Planning Process:

​Chronic Disease

• Health Promotion
• Policy and Program Development
• Funding

Mental Health

• Advocacy
• Prevention Programming

Safety

• Infant/Child Fatality
• Emergency Preparedness
• Motor Vehicle Safety

Substance Abuse/Drug Overdose

• Reduce Access to illicit Drugs and Inappropriate Prescription Drug Use
• Improve Drug Overdose Intervention
• Effective Substance Abuse Prevention
• Improve Early Intervention, Treatment, Mental Health & Re-Entry

Workgroups were formed for each priority health/safety topic to develop policies and define actions to target efforts that promote positive health behaviors and outcomes. These activities are outlined in the Jessamine County CHIP Workplan: 2019-2023.
