Improving the Overall Health of Your Community Using Community-based Strategies: Implementing MAPP and PACE EH Simultaneously |
|
| MAPP (Mobilizing for Action Through Planning and Partnerships) and PACE EH (Protocol for Assessing Community Excellence in Environmental Health) are tools that take a community-based approach to improving the overall health of the community; MAPP is a strategic approach to community health improvement that is focused on strengthening the public health system; whereas, PACE EH is focused on conducting a community-based environmental health assessment and creating an accurate and verifiable profile of the community’s environmental health status. Through the use of demonstration sites the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) has been monitoring several communities as they implement MAPP and PACE EH; however a few sites have begun using these tools simultaneously, providing additional insight as to how these tools can be used and customized when implemented in tandem in a variety of settings. These vanguard communities are only now coming to realize the full scope of the benefits resulting from adapting PACE EH and MAPP into a single assessment process. This session will begin with a brief overview of MAPP and PACE EH. The majority of the time, however, will be devoted to presentations and a discussion about the experiences and lessons learned from sites implementing MAPP and PACE EH. This session will be of interest to state and local health department staff, community partners, and others interested in MAPP and PACE EH or similar community health improvement initiatives. |
