Harnessing Local Data to Create the CORE Conditions for: Healthy Environments

Training Date: February 7, 2023

Watch this community conversation about harnessing local data to foster Healthy Environments (one of the eight CORE Conditions for Health & Well-being) so that all community members in Santa Cruz County experience a clean, safe, sustainable natural environment and a built environment and infrastructure that support health and well-being.

• Quality of the natural environment & natural resources

• Climate change resiliency

• Safe, affordable, accessible recreational spaces

• Safe, affordable, accessible transportation system

In this interactive session, participants were asked to share their perspectives on these questions:

• What “stories” do the selected indicators tell about the assets of people/places in our communities?

• What’s missing? What questions could (or should) we be asking about bias, limits, and context of the data? 

• What programs, practices, and policies exist (or are needed) to create the conditions for Healthy Environments for all community members across the lifespan?

• How could we build on the available data to measure change, learn what works, and assess our collective impact?

This is the sixth session in an 8-part community conversation designed to dive into the data that can help people identify community strengths and needs, set goals for community well-being, track progress, and connect strategies across the CORE Conditions for Health and Well-being.
