"Creating a Healthier Community"

For Marin County to be a community of communities:

That creates and supports a culture of health;
With social norms that make it possible for individuals to make healthy choices;
Where the incidence of killer diseases are less than state and national averages

The relationship between health and public policy.
Our personal and collective responsibilities to promote “Healthy Choices Earlier in Life”.
The community as a partner.
Diversity, cultural influences and the need for health equity.
The concept of upstream and the Spectrum of Prevention.
The results of the community assessment and our responsibility to work with the community to interpret and respond to the findings.
Collaboration of champions and leveraging their work.
Results based accountability and have adopted the Friedman model.
The promotion of community education, health literacy and raising awareness.
The influence we can bear while leaving our individual nametags at the door.
