About the Force for Health® Solutions

The Force for Health® 360° System is a community health intervention project designed to help better support healthier and happier citizens and help increase the impacts that community health needs assessment strategies can have in communities throughout the network.

It is a highly collaborative and coordinated, multi-agency approach specifically designed to engage leaders from the healthcare, business, education and public sectors to better work together towards ensuring a healthier generation and lower costs for key stakeholders.

It is also designed to be a real-world Community Learning Experience Project, providing an opportunity for active participants to deliver a population health impact project directly to their own community, while learning new skills, like leadership, digital media, and outreach strategies that will better prepare them for a competitive workplace in whatever field they choose.

Here is an overview of the types of tools we can design and deploy in your community.
