(2) Accountability - The state of being accountable, liable, or answerable. Prominent words in word clouds: support, improve, supportive, helping
(3) Inclusivity - Policy of not excluding members or participants on the grounds of gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, etc. Prominent words in word clouds: everyone, including, inclusive, equal
(4) Respect - Esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person. Prominent words in word clouds: love, care, respect
II. Community Themes & Strengths Assessment and Implementation (Facilitated by Aaron Pannone)
· Question about the number of languages the survey will be available in – TJHD will pay to have survey translated into district’s top five languages (Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, German)
o Comment: Need to translate survey culturally
· Survey will be distributed to the community and through partnering community organizations, online link for the survey will also be made available
· Timeline for completion is end of June
· Comment: Children aged 14 years or older are able to be surveyed without a parent’s consent
· Comment: NACCHO graphic—the graphic did not show urban life well, even seemed to make it look like health was achieved outside of cities or in the wilderness
o Could make own graphic
III. Let’s Look at the Data (Facilitated by Elizabeth Beasley)
· Section 1: Who are we and what do we bring to the table?
o Demographics
§ Slight increase in number of adults with disabilities from previous year
§ Highlighted that Nelson county had the highest rate of Kindergarteners who were not School Ready
§ Louisa and Fluvanna are the only two counties reaching the Healthy People Goal for School Readiness
o Socioeconomic Indicators
§ Should look into how UVA students in Charlottesville are affecting the rate of residents in Poverty
· Section 2: Strengths and Risks in Our Community
o Community Resources
§ Number of PCPs in the data comes from AMA MPI registry
§ Number of Mental Health Providers comes from AMA MPI registry if it is noted in their profession
§ We do have data that includes NPs, PAs and Clinical Nurse Specialists—Jillian
§ Would like to look at the more recent rates of Uninsured residents since the implementation of ACA
§ Highlighted the high percentage of children in Charlottesville enrolled in Medicaid
§ Vacant Housing—Louisa and Nelson high due to the inclusion of vacation homes in Lake Anna and Wintergreen respectively
· Vacant: if there is no resident at the time of interview or if there is only temporary residency throughout the year—includes vacation homes
§ Highlighted the high rate of full service restaurants in the district
§ Food Stores by Type was not broken down by locality in this meeting, but that data is broken down for each Locality CHA Council
§ Low Access to Stores – old data but probably not much change since 2010; unfortunately no data for Greene
§ Food Insecurity – did not have reliable access to food source
§ Charlottesville did not perform well in regards to their Food Environment Indexj
§ Child Care Availability
· Numbers come from number of slots in licensed home day care centers and licensed day care centers and child population in that age range
· Less available than there was in past years
· VA DSS only knows about licensed centers but probably higher availability when including unlicensed centers
§ Physical Activity: all localities increased access
§ Data on who uses the Locations for Physical fitness opportunities coming in Section 3 with BRFSS data (limited data – warning)
§ JAUNT data – legend on slide is missing rides to medical appointments
o Community Safety
§ Reported Crime Incidents – decrease in last ten years; most dramatic in Charlottesville
§ DUI Arrest Rate – steady decrease over last eight years; rolling average rates
§ Drug/Narcotic Arrests: trend of decrease; unsure of confounding variables
Next Steps (Facilitated by Aaron Pannone)
· County Health Rankings released on March 16th (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/)
o Albemarle ranked 4th
o Efforts should align with Virginia Department of Health’s Plan for Well-Being
§ Available for public viewing online; www.vdh.virginia.gov
§ Metrics of the Plan
· Healthy Connected Communities
· Preventive Actions
· Strong Start for Children
· Systems of Healthcare
§ Strategies on Presentation
o Breakdown being sent by Elizabeth soon
o Metrics added or tweaked each year so difficult to trend over time
· Next meeting we will review health behaviors and outcomes data and provide update on community themes assessment
Next Meeting: May 18, 2016, 8:30 – 10:30 AM, Location: Kessler Conference Room
Outpatient Care Center, 595 Martha Jefferson Drive
