The Partnership for a Healthier Carroll County Inc

What it reported doing in 2024

The partnership for a healthier carroll county, an affiliate of carroll hospital center and the carroll county health department, is a non-profit organization working to improve health by connecting people, inspiring action, and strengthening community. Our organization is the coordinating hub that connects agencies and individuals in pursuit of a healthier community. As a non-profit organization we work to promote healthy lifestyles, inspire leadership, track emerging health issues, influence policies that impacts health, oversee community health assessments and monitor health data to regularly check the pulse of our community. The partnership supports several initiatives throughout the community. Those programs include walk carroll, nobody is perfect and the mental health speaker series. Walk carroll: the walk carroll programming was successfully expanded to include a number of projects outside of the traditional walking clubs in order to reach more community members and support new ideas for increasing physical activity. In partnership with carroll county recreation and parks, a few new programs were added: first day hike, paddle with the partnership, and the 100 mile challenge. Nobody is perfect: the partnership presented a program entitled nobody is perfect focused on targeting families. Nutrition, social media and physical activity were the themes to address how parents talk to themselves about body image, and the ripple effect. From these sessions we expanded and included more on social media and healthy screen time and their effects on body image and mental health. These sessions were held on specific topics at carroll county public schools and carroll community college. Mental health speaker series: the partnership was able to provide monthly speaker sessions to therapists and social workers offering them free ceu's for their license. Community members were also able to attend at no cost. The mhss was composed of experts in different topics surrounding mental health needs.
