| The
Barberton Health District will strive to increase the health and
quality of life of the citizens of Barberton by reducing
the risk of communicable disease, preventable chronic disease and
environmental risk factors. To realize these goals, the Barberton Health District must strengthen the public health system in Barberton and throughout Summit County in the following ways: |
|
| 1. | Continue to assess health outcomes for those individuals that receive public health services. |
| 2. | Provide all citizens with the information, resources, and the necessary links within the community to make healthier choices and live healthier lives. |
| 3. | Protect people from health threats beyond their control, such as bioterrorism, natural disasters, infectious disease outbreaks, and environmental hazards. Achieving this vision requires the combined efforts of public and private partners in government and business, hospitals, medical providers, schools, churches, community organizations, and our citizens. |
