Community Health Data
ElevatingHealth.net Members have access to the CHS Data Engine, Community Health Solutions' innovative source of community health data. Collecting original data from a large community of people can be highly expensive, costing tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. The CHS Data Engine produces health-related demographic estimates for geographic areas as small as a single census tract. In addition, CHS uses synthetic estimation methodologies to predict community health status at the state, regional, city, county, zip code, and census tract level. We provide this service to all Members who need the data to advance a community health improvement project.

Community health matters.
Community health is concerned with the health of a defined community of people - a state, a city, a neighborhood, a group of employees, a faith community, a demographic or cultural group, a social network, or even a family. Community health improvement is about improving the health of a community by promoting healthier behaviors, strengthening community services, and creating healthier environments. Community health improvement may be the most powerful weapon we have for keeping people heathy and controlling health care costs. That's why community health improvement is everyone's concern - and everyone's responsibility.
