Community
Health Programs
The Community Health Programs of the
TAHD are intended to address the eight basic health programs as required
for funding by the Connecticut Department of Public Health. The eight
programs are Public Health Statistics, Health Education, Nutritional
Services, Maternal and Child Health, Communicable and Chronic Disease
Control, Environmental Services, Community Nursing Services, and
Emergency Medical Services. TAHD Community Health Programs are based on
public health statistics, demographics, and various local community health
assessments.
The TAHD uses federal, state and
local grants to carry out most of its Community Health Programs. These
funds are sometimes based on competitive grants awarded to the TAHD
because of the many population-based services already offered by the
Health District. The TAHD is also in a strong position to contribute
in-kind facilities and services to broaden the affects of most grants
beyond their anticipated goals. All these programs are designed to promote
mental, emotional and physical health and well being, and to prevent
disease.
