Over 50 Virginia Beach groups and organizations have taken part in and contributed to HealthyVB since August 2007. We have developed an Action Plan driven by information gathered during 4 health assessments, including a community survey. HealthyVB is focused on ensuring that Virginia Beach is a healthy community and that residents have access to the healthcare that they need.
The Action Plan has 5 goals: 1. Develop, promote, and support prevention programs in the City of Virginia Beach 2. Facilitate a healthy lifestyle 3. Understand the barriers to accessing care in Virginia Beach 4. Provide linkages between health programs and the public 5. Inform the public of existing health programs and resources through an information repository |
